My work

About

I am an artist and glassmaker – I make glass fabric pieces from glass threads and glass bobbins and also repurpose materials from Mills and Industry – I am interested in weaving and textile narratives looking at our psychological connection to thread and analogies such as “Thread bare” and “Hanging on by a thread” and especially the invisible work of mending and fixing and everyday domestic work such as the invisible load. After research at Mill Archives exploring textile histories and heritage – I made glass sculptures and bobbins and painted surfaces that explore these themes and processes . The work develops on from the Masters research in textile heritage and maintains connections and developments.
