Really like the large scale blocks of colour and the way the pieces are lite from behind.

No bonding methods which is incredible all using stitches. Used rust dying and metal which I like to use in my work plus over lapping sheer fabrics, the stitches also gives a textures ripple.

I think everyone likes large scale pieces along with very small pieces, it’s makes you ask the question how was that created…

Shapes and forms that have influenced my work. This shaped seat is just what I need to create in textiles!
