'Paperworks’ I make paper mainly from cotton linters fibres. Sometimes it is cast at the wet stage sometimes collaged embedded or stitched. It is painted and waxed to enable it to be hung directly on the wall Inspiration stems from architecture, costume, objects and surfaces worn, deteriorated or affected by age.
‘Linen’ pieces are paintings on vintage linen. The linen is often stitched and collaged onto a surface and the paint is washes of acrylic with wax.
‘Paperclay’ is a mixture of cotton linters pulp and clay The sculptural forms are high fired and coloured with oxides.They are relatively light because the paper pulp content burns out during the firing.
