My practice explores the complexities and emotions in connection with ageing and the transitional stages in life. Concepts draw from experience in the care industry, and generally surround areas which I feel are hardly discussed in society. The processes involved are mostly slow and rhythmic, and allow me to engage with and explore my interest in materiality, whilst simultaneously exploring the themes within my practice, and prompting discussion about these. I predominantly work with wool, canvas and thread, though painting has a place both within my work and in the development of it, providing opportunity to play with contrasts and explore the limitations between 'fine art' and 'craft'.
