I create through manifesting feeling, sound and questioning the traditional methods of drawing. Creating a collection of printed samples and lengths. the manipulated by printing processes based on drawings and observations developed during my childhood, whilst creating expressive marks as an adult and combing both to develop this body of work.  The exploration of printed textiles has tested my abilities to resolve solutions. I incorporate different techniques including devore, discharge and foil while also exploring digital print designs although incorporating traditional textile techniques of screen printing.Even though my work is free flowing I am more precise on techniques producing the highest standards in technical processes. My hand drawn designs explores years of practice and placing a lot of emphasis on creating screens, while letting myself push structure, scale and form.
