artist statement
I have an interest in the history of the fibre arts and its influence on our modern techniques. My special interest lies in natural dye plants (including woad and indigo) and flax, all of which I grow on my farm. My aim is to produce unique fabrics combining natural dyes with the best characteristics of animal and plant fibres.
