Read MoreMy work for the past 20 years
has used revealing aspects of history, indigenous cultures and human behaviour,
which have a profound impact on our contemporary culture today. In the
current climate where many believe history has no relevance, I find myself
continually returning to those aspects that are often hidden or misrepresented
in the “official” recordings for posterity. In my varied and diverse
approaches to making art; installations, social art and objects, the context of
the work has an impact on the work’s relationship to the viewer.
Fibres,
I started using fibres
from the sheep. The slow process of felting and dyeing makes the product how it
is. Each piece is different. Then I start using strings of wool and found
threads. I look for fibres everywhere. I only use found fibres in nature or used textile, remembrance of their function of yesterday and neglected for the future.
Making new objects and place it in a new habitat I want to reflect my thoughts
of creativity as tool to share.
