Filatura

At the beginning of my knitwear career I worked in Italy for a yarn manufacturer. This was a transformative experience in many ways. My first visit to the spinning mill was an assault to the senses - colours, sounds textures, movement. All foreign in many ways but becoming familiar over time and the inspiration for this work.

Light, energy, emotion - I am interested in visual perception and visual sensation. Nature inspired organic shapes and contrasts of colour and texture explore themes of energy and place. Brushstrokes are left raw and immediate recording my presence in the work. Their abstraction invites a collaboration with the viewer to complete a mood or experience that is individual to each person.
