My work serves as a visual conversation in contrast and relationship, (both visual and human), one in which asymmetry and repetition are centrally involved. I am influenced by natural elements, geography and architecture with a strong focus on texture.
Reclamation of leftover materials is integral to my work, allowing materials to drive design choices so that I can react to what is readily available.
Work rarely proceeds in a linear fashion, the organic outcome being found as the piece is finished.
The inherently personal nature of wearable art furthers my thoughts on relationship; the wearer serving as both the viewer and the setting.
