short description of project :
As you turn your head on the pillow you catch a faint whisper, your story is being told as you sleep, tomorrow another will lie here, listening.

about
current work :
Moving through textiles, site-specific sculpture and text there is a multiplicity inherent in my work. This leaves me with a varied pool of interests, commitments and theoretical concerns, which on first glance may seem disparate but, on a closer inspection, connect at unexpected places and group to form a coherent body of work. I am currently concentrating on text and photographic works which explore the way we use personal encounters and stories to understand the world around us.
