Artist Statement:
My work deals with the
dichotomies of vulnerability
and strength, pain and joy,
transience and timelessness.
It is about memories, emotions
and ambiguities we experience
as we grow from one phase of
our lives to the next. It is
always narrative and often
contains words and statements.
I use screen-printing, based
on photographs and real
objects, combined with collage
and fiber related techniques
such as stitching and thread
manipulation. My materials
range from fibre materials
such as paper and lint to
metal objects and materials
from nature....
