This is me & what I do
​​I create each textile artwork from one of my original drawings. The process begins with the image separated into its component parts. Then I transfer these individual elements to pieces of delicate fabric sourced from second-hand silk ties. They are then reassembled & machine-stitch appliquéd with fine thread to the background fabric.
​
My artwork from recycled silk ties is inspired by the natural world, particularly insects, whose forms and colours lend themselves so well to reinterpretation using the physically fragile but visually vibrant silk.
