An important aspect of my practice is to use recycled textiles to create sculptures and installations that explore the concept of memory, decay and continuity.
Manchester Textile Mill
I worked in an old textile mill in Manchester creating site-specific textile installations and sculptures that responded to the architecture of the mill whilst conjuring up spirits of the buildings past life.
Manchester was once famous for its textile industry but now the once busy mill lies empty and the machines are now silent and only ghosts of the past inhabit the space. My contemplative organic sculptures looked as if they were growing out of the very fabric of the building whilst the looping structures hint at the abstract concept of memory, decay and loss.
Woodland Exhibition
Using old garments I explored the concept of embodiment in a woodland setting. The use of red was both a visual and a conceptual choice.
Sunnybank Mills Yorkshire
I was invited to exhibit my work at Sunnybank Mills as part of the "Weave" exhibition.
