A creative journey

Creative journeys

Throughout my creative journey, I have explored various materials and themes, resulting in a dynamic collection of artworks. Each section of the collection stands alone while harmonising with the others, illustrating my evolving interests and inspirations.

A notable part of my work is a series based on inked imagery on cloth. This material serves as the foundation, with its earth and vegetation elements reflecting the origins of its components. The series exemplifies my focus on the natural world and its intrinsic beauty.

Another series centres around the use of indigo. Created later in my process, the addition of vibrant colour brought a new dimension to my work. The unpredictable patterns that emerged through the indigo dyeing process guided my creativity into unexpected and enriching directions.

Venturing into three-dimensional space, I introduced a series that adds intrigue and novelty to my collection. This 3D work, although a departure from my usual approach, retains the collaborative and spontaneous essence present in my other pieces. These pieces evoke a sense of ancient history and fantasy, expanding the narrative scope of my collection.

A significant portion of the collection is dedicated to themes of trees and leaves. I find these a fascinating source of inspiration. I have reimagined pieces to fit within new projects, finding renewed appreciation and relevance in them.

Finally, the Felt series explores the tactile aspects of my art. I normally work with alpaca fibre and working with raw wool was a new venture, offering a satisfying contrast to the smoother, cloth-based elements of my previous works. This series enriches the overall texture and sensory experience of my collection, showcasing my willingness to experiment and adapt.

What is the essence of your creative journey? I encourage you to venture into unknown waters as well as honing your existing expertise. Take delight in exploration and personal challenges.
