I work with my own handmade paper working from the raw fibre using traditional European equipment and techniques. The process of papermaking is vitally important to me and the work. The complex structure of the fibres enables me to create sculptural pieces without the use of glue, stitching or armatures. I use the image of 'dress' frequently in my work. "We shape the clothes we wear, making them as individual as a thumbprint and like a thumbprint they can expose and betray."
