August

My inspiration for my creative practice is fueled by a passion and a desire to explore the environment around us, looking for the fleeting ephemeral traces of our footprints in society.

I use old and discarded objects and obscure and decayed architecture as a starting point. I then combine and assemble the found objects along with distressed fabrics, paper manipulation, plaster, stitch, and wire to create a personal response in which I reflect not only on the tactile nature of the materials but also on the underlying meaning of using found materials to create new art from old.

I am particularly interested in searching for vintage envelopes and dressmaking items and exploring typography along side collage and drawing.

Most recently, I have looked to develop my practice by combining new media techniques with the craft based element of my work to create installation-based textiles, which includes multi media processes.
