Discovery 2019

An artwork made in response to my location reflecting elements of local history and my own psychological development.

I learned basketry techniques for two years at City Lit College. This piece is made using the hexagonal weave with 3 - 4m long x 4mm oak strips that were left from a previous project.

Revolution and Resonance 2017

This piece was made as a response to the environment after a residency in Ashburnham Place, Battle. 

A floating sculpture woven onsite, secured to a raft and tethered to an anchor was left to the mercy of the elements for 6 months and then burned on the water.
