My Textiles - Art and Craft
In my Arts practise, I create textile art and crafts. I also teach and facilitate workshops. A lot of my textile art is wall-based but I also create 3d work.My pieces have an ethnic feel that is pure and raw. Indeed it is quite primitive at times. But this is what I like. I want to exploit this further in my future work, and also to to use more recycled materials. I mix my mediums because I enjoy the feeling of letting the work create its own destiny. I use paints, dyes, fabrics, stitching, pen, whatever the work dictates.
I also create bags, bracelets, fabrics and dyed products using the same methods. These are some of my textiles. They can be bought as seen or commissioned.
