Welcome to My past Work gallery |
| Collaborations |
|
The works featured in this Collaboration were done with Bob Russon, a photographer from Lichfield, Staffordshire. Bob was working on a series of photographs depicting nature's erosion on man-made surfaces, such as peeling paint on fishing boats or doors, and I am fascinated by nature's erosion on nature, such as sand-dunes, strata, the effects of water erosion. It seemed a perfect combination!
The three works shown here are utilising Bob's photos, my textural weaving, mixed media and MDF sections to create height variations and crevices. We worked on these for an exhibition in Costa Rica for the International Biennial of Women in Textile Art in September 2006, and exhibited Islands in the Stream. |

| Deep Sea |
| The series of three pieces which make up Deep Sea was inspired by David Attenborough's TV Series 'The Blue Planet'. Over the course of the three pieces, you can see the ball of herring (Shoal), a perspective of fish and birds (Migration) and the whale and dolphins bubble-netting the fish (Corral). They took a lot of working out and a lot of concentrated weaving! Shoal is currently being exhibited at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery as part of the exhibition 'How Art is Made' in Galleries 12 & 13. |

| Deep Space |
| Deep Space was inspired by the amazing images sent back by Hubble's Deep Space Telescope. I wanted to capture the images using dyeing and painting methods on silk fabrics I had previously woven. The idea here is not for textural effects, but for visual effects created on a flat surface. |
