My recent framed and hanging work concentrates on rural landscape spaces, and in particular coastal regions, with cliffs and coves that are found on parts of the south coast of England. The strong sense of the horizontal of the sea and the horizon and the vertical of the cliffs connects for me with the warp and weft of the weaving process that has been at the centre of my practical work. I am also interested in using stitch techniques to examine details of the landscape; the layering of rocks in a cliff face or the surface of the sea.
 
In my ranges of scarves I am translating these ideas using high twist yarns with silks, linens, cottons, and rayon to create colourful lightweight scarves. By mixing combinations of these yarns I control the way the cloth reflects the light and the feel and drape of the finished scarf. Each type of scarf uses the weave structure in a different way to create texture. I design each set of warp colours afresh and will typically weave five or six scarves each with a different weft colouring making each scarf an individual one-off design.

Prices range from £50 to £500.
