Outside Looking In.
The outer chaos we create with adventure and life experience often forces us to seek out an inner core of quiet. My new work celebrates our instincts to vigorously colour outside-the-lines and then, just a minute later, attempt to connect-the-dots. There is beautiful chaos when my shapes and textiles sprawl across my studio table and then a joyful ‘sigh’ when I successfully weave them together to create a new work. It’s so exciting when a tiny piece flips over, reveals some unexpected colour or pattern and then, all-of-a-sudden, the art problem is solved! Each stage of my creative process is cathartic, uplifting and playful. My artwork echoes happiness, intuitive game-play and the yearning we have to seek order amid the chaos.
