Life
I have exhibited 3D work frequently in London including the V&A. While raising 2 children, working as a midwife and then counsellor, I started experimenting with 3D work starting with clay, progressed to casting and then welding steel, and using other metals. Having exhausted the joints in my hands however, and after a fairly lengthy tantrum, I now mostly work with hand and machine embroidery to which I was introduced as a child and I have continued to explore at various stages throughout my life. Most of my work, in any medium, has been figurative and a reflection of the concerns of my life at that time; the obvious, obscure, personal, political, joyful or not, the natural world beyond myself in all its realities. A more recent interest is the expression of Ppolitical concerns in textiles and the impact of that medium on the response to the statement, and vice versa.
