Experimentation and a mix of humble materials, primarily paper, guide my sculptural forms. Environmental concerns and women’s issues are central to my practice.

By imploring a hunter/gatherer style in both urban/rural settings, it provides a strong connection to place and a new purpose for reusable materials. The process is part alchemist/part witches brew, laborious and repetitious.

Oscillating between strength and fragility, nature and industry, decay and beauty — my artwork contains skilled-craftsmanship and the reckless abandonment of allowing materials to shape the outcome.
