Working with dancers, circus performers and others in the performing arts field has been the starting point of my work looking at the substance and movement of the figure Using different materials I explore and record the dynamism of the figure, in 2 and 3D forms. The 2D work is transferred onto textiles, or made into sculpture using wire, also combining wire, textiles and fibres these sculptures of figures and busts vary in size from over 2 metres to a few centimetres, some using different combinations of wire and wax. This has led on to work based on the fragmentation and dissolution of the body and the body as an object starting with figures contained in paper structures, and as small works on canvas.

Recent work at University of the Arts Camberwell where I am studying for an MA in Drawing can also be seen on my blog page
