Most of the pieces I have created have a memory attached to them which I have added as a backstory to the items in my shop. Some of them are stories about people, places and moments in time and some are simply about the enjoyment I find in the act of creating. Some of the pieces, particularly domestic objects like My Mother’s Spoon are very special to me offering a connection to the past and people who are no longer here.
I am often given found objects by people who know me and my work, small gifts that to me represent relationships and little flashes into other people’s lives. Not all make it into a piece, but several have; a splintered shard of wood from a painted skirting board and a broken wooden golf tee are a few gifts that were used in Five pictured here.
If you have objects or materials that are meaningful to you that you would like me to creatively transform with care, please get in touch for a chat. We can explore ideas and see where we go.
