Statement -
Over the last few years I have been working on two bodies of work which combine dye, stitch and print to produce textile pieces which are two and three
dimensional. The first is entitled" Stillborn", the second "About the Word".
"Scan", "he's alive", "Wipe away every tear", "Shroud" and Hope" belong to the Stillborn series. Repetition of image and text, particularly in the form of
scriptural promises reflects the pattern and process of grieving and the transition from suffering and despair to hope.
The main sources of inspiration for the "About the Word" series come from historical fragments, manuscripts, scrolls and documents of the Holy Scripture -
the Word of God. The pieces attempt to track something of the age and fragility of the physical - the yellow page and faded text, whilst also referring to the
continuing truth and power of the Word and the spiritual.
