My work has emerged out of a lifetime of filling small sketchbooks with scribbles and doodles. Sometimes they grow out of geometrical shapes, and at others, it is more a stream of consciousness thing, with complex patterns emerging instinctively. Sometimes it begins with a deliberate intent and at others, it is a purely random effort. It is a hugely mindful process.
Recently, I started experimenting with fabric, creating and embroidering intricate patterns with tiny stitches, occasionally using glass beads (I do love a bit of sparkle!). I also enjoy experimenting with 3D origami, building mobiles, decorations and garlands.
