I am a fibre artist, and a maker of felt.
Since the mid 1980s I have been captivated by the process of transforming wool and other fibres into a textile and sculptural form to call my own. Feltmaking...the process is ancient. The contemporary applications and narrative explorations are endless, and enduring. Welcome to my practice. I regularly create new works for exhibitions, and my freelance work includes curatorial engagements, facilitating workshops the world over, writing & editing, and program design work in the non-profit arts sector in Western Australia. My artwork is always one-of-a-kind, and that's just the way I like it. Every work I create is unique. Being able to make things by hand matters to me. I invite you to join me in one of my in-depth workshops, learn the hands-on techniques and create your very own treasures in hand-made felt. I look forward to meeting you. |
