Wetfelted creations with wool & silk; abstract miniature landscape monotypes. Part of East Oxford Art Collective https://bio.site/eastoxfordartcollective The main theme of my artistic and abstract work is emulating shapes that exist in nature. I am drawn to processes that don’t require the use of machines, and materials that have their own will and energy. My philosophy and approach to professional musicmaking is continued in the same vein in my art: an equal balance between technical skills to achieve the desired result and knowing when to let go to give the materials (or instruments/music) the freedom they need to flourish and create something unique that cannot be reproduced in exactly the same way again. Wetfelted lamps resemble alabaster-like planets, with the fibres coming to life when lit. Abstract landscapes from tiny cut sections of a bigger piece, suggest hidden miniature worlds. Felted sea creatures remind of colourful sea anemones or jellyfish and silk scarves hint at abstract flower meadows. Monotypes evoke memories of the sea or gloomy night walks.
