Statement - 
The Relationship Between the Invisibly Small and the Unimaginably Huge.

Science theory has a strange and beautiful language of its own. In its expansive fluidity and elegance, are similar qualities to those woven into the finest
textiles, or executed in fine art practice.
Any language used to define a specific purpose, can be difficult to understand. Scientists, for instance, have concocted their own shapes and patterns to
encode precise meaning into individual and unique projects. The same is true of dressmakers and religious leaders.

Within my research I have found amusing and inspirational links, in the philosophical attitudes of the scientific, artistic and religious communities.
Repeated patterns, ritual and combined creative energies, describe commonplace systems in each field. This leads to a strange, but undeniably linked, 
united theory of interconnection.

The essential continuous manual process in my practice attempts to identify these factors and create universal images that explain my wonder and
amusement. By using crochet and durable familiar fibres, I hope to provide an accessible starting point for communication, and a simple way to begin to 
discuss the complex theories I am trying to interpret.
