I am a woven textile artist and designer working from my small studio in Feltwell, Norfolk, where I create handwoven one-off textiles for interior spaces; either as wall-hangings or for windows, framed jacquards and complex multi-directional yarn windings.
Experimenting with weaving techniques - both traditional and modern, and using a variety of fibres including linen and silk, I explore methods to allow visual and textural contrasts to work together in either subtle or more surprising ways; using gradating colours and textures, varying weights, opacity, and pattern.
Alongside more traditional hand woven cloth and jacquard portraits, I use yarn windings, both to express ideas for woven cloth, and to create intricate layered patterns that would not be possible to weave, as textile art pieces themselves.
