Festival: 2019

I work entirely with found materials to create three-dimensional quirky outdoorsy people.

I’m “materials led” so the materials that I stumble across are always the inspiration. A piece of driftwood too small to use as a base, will become a skateboarders’ board; an empty parcel tape roll, might become a perambulator; old maps are always useful props for walkers and runners.

Wherever practical I hand stitch, as well as creating texture and individuality, the slowness of the process is integral to developing the characters of the pieces.

We're not lost, we're just taking the scenic route
