The Shadow
DATE: 10/16/2008 22:05:22 / MOOD: full of life

I'm elated at having just finished my B. Visual Arts(Honours) thesis and

 had my exhibition last week. An installation called The Shadow - a dead environment. The title comes from a T.S. Eliot poem. Hard to photograph in dim light. Should add a video when I work out how.

Women's Art/Men's Art
DATE: 04/20/2008 17:09:38 / MOOD: in love

As I look at art the works that I am attracted to usually turn out to be done by women. My own work is partially inspired by Eva Hessa and Louise Bougeouis. What qualities do people think give art a male or female sensibility ?

weaving magazine images
DATE: 04/17/2008 03:06:56 / MOOD: in love

I've added some images from last years work. I called this series " I am a goddess and my body is a temple". I used images from glossy magazine and cut them into strips and wove them. The end product was a jacket made up from these images. Labour intensive ! Also did a series of masks representing different periods of my life and the image I presented. I went on to distort classic art images like those from Gentilesci by interweaving them with contemporary magazine images.

about my work
DATE: 04/08/2008 19:21:27 / MOOD: in love




My work addresses dichotomy in that it is divided into two parts. In essence I am working on two bodies of work in parallel and my dilemma is how I can combine the two into a  cohesive body of work?




I  continually live between order and chaos. My work expresses that conflict with opposing forces - light/dark, order /chaos, masculine / feminine,  natural / manmade.




After decades of teaching children and practice using natrural materials and craft skill Iwent back 40 years to the wrting and works of William Morris and other practicioners of Process Art and Antiform Sculpture - Eva Hesse, Claus Oldenberg, Joseph Beuys, and Louise Bougeouis. I’ve taken myself out of my comfort zone and used industrial carpet and underlay. 




Starting with a flat rectangle I make expanded cuts and hang the pieces from one or several points.




The materials,  the processes, the effects of gravity, and an element of chance will play apart in the final composition of my work.
