I have worked in the medium of paper textile for many years. I use paper to discover ways in which it can be deconstructed to create colour, texture and depth in my paper textiles. I often use rusted papers with the expectation that each piece will change over time as the more fragile pieces deconstruct and the nature of the piece evolves.
Sea Wall #7
Retail Price: $2000
Dimensions: 101 x 133 cm (H x W)
Statement: Visitors to the small park in Secheron Bay, near where I live, would not notice the old sea wall. I love its tired grottiness, its many intriguing layers, and hidden traces of history that can only be guessed at.
Exhibitions: Quilt National 19, Dairy Barn Arts Centre, Ohio USA.

Summer Inferno #5
Retail Price: $2000
Dimensions: 98 x 153 cm (H x W)
Statement: The bushfires in the Australian summer of 2019/20 were catastrophic. Landscape left blackened and lifeless. Only piles of melted corrugated iron roofing and rubble remain where homes once stood. Garden paths lead nowhere. Everywhere there is devastation.
