Cloth excites me. How does this cloth react if I cut it, stitch it, wash it, layer it, stretch it, combine it, shrink it? Repetition is important in my work, what happens when the same element is repeated over and over again, what new idea emerges? Using these ideas I create cloths, which I make up into wall hangings and accessories. I welcome commissions.
