To me the old Fairytales, the Myths and Legends are life lines holding everything together and my art has its roots deep inside these ancient grounds.
I believe they are the soul’s fibres that connect us to a deeper understanding of the world, our past and future, ourselves and to each other,
and I am doing my bit continuing the eternal weave with my personal threads.
In my work I love to use time worn materials and items such as antique textiles and dresses, teapots and other curious objects I collect from our local antiques market and second hand shops.
The aged qualities of these old materials add an extra layer to what I create, holding memories of their own, fingerprints and stories unknown to us, and I like the idea of bringing these into the works I make.
I am fascinated by history and societies, but my greatest love is for nature. The friction between these two landscapes; the human landscape and the natural one, is often reflected in my work.
Also my interest in witchcraft and the occult are reoccuring themes, as well as dreams and the life lived in memories.
I believe it is the memory of childhood and the enchanted world of those days that still runs through all that I do, and it is important for me to keep that spark of wonder and magic alive.
"Since early childhood I have loved the old fairytale books and their beloved illustrations telling mysterious tales of witches and faeries,
inhabiting enchanted forests where animals speak in riddles.
Stories shrouded in symbolism in which some kind of struggle must be overcome often leading to a transformation of the tale's hero.
With my art I am building on similar themes and ideas, creating a universe with my own mystical creatures and landscapes,
emerging from old world nostalgia and mysterious childhood memories, timeless and ancient.
As I create I connect to a tradition of storytelling that is deeply and uniquely human.
Many of my pieces hold small worlds within;
a butterfly or beetle may be hidden in the belly of a doll, or a miniature theatre might hide a secret behind the drapes of its curtains.
To create my dolls and sculptures I use a mix of materials and techniques such as antique and upcycled
textiles, embroidery and handmade lace, feathers and hair, crystals and all kinds of beautiful or interesting bits and bobs that I collect at markets and secondhand shops.
I also love working with clay and paper-mâché for its directness and versatility.
