In recent years I have been known for my mixed media vessels and paddle forms. In Natural Order I have moved away from my usual mediums of textiles, ceramics, gut and wire and collages on paper. In this new body of work, prunings from my permaculture garden create the foundation of what I consider as "drawings". This new work incorporates aspects of my usual materials, small bits of wire, waxed linen and gut as lashings, instead of cloth I have created net-like filigree using an ancient knotless netting technique. The pieces are presented on panels whose surface is layered with subtle shades of white milk paint that has been inscribed with writing. The sense of a story creates an evocative backdrop for this new work.
