“I have a lot of fun creating my dolls (creatures/effigies) and enjoy the slow and delicate process of hand stitching. I approach the process playfully, as an exploration of colour, texture and assemblage. Working predominately with small (beautiful) remnants of vintage kimono fabrics and haberdashery, I begin with a simple shape or an interesting little artefact and then allow myself to experiment with and be guided by my materials. Usually it’s a feeling, a sense of character or a story that begins to emerge and allows me to fully resolve each piece.
I’ve had a life-long fascination with objects, the stories they hold and our connection to them. I have collected dolls, miniatures and found objects for as long as I can remember and they live in tiny installations throughout my home. My current practice feels like a extension of this. ”
