I choose materials drawn from
the natural world and alter them with random folds, pleats and
seam-lines, taking inspiration from the shapes I see around me.
Linen and wool are textiles I often use due to their beauty and
versatility. In everything I do, the texture and form of the
original material is allowed to shape the essence of the work. When
I alter the component materials, the goal is to enhance a particular
aspect of the textile and allow it to be seen in a new way. yorktown road product is produced in my small workshop. I hand-dye the fabrics, draft every pattern, construct each piece and document the process with abstract and partial images. I thoroughly enjoy this work that I do. |
