Meditations on my Body Series, recent work

Stitched and waxed rag paper impregnated with 

distemper and Japanese paper starch 

Continuing to explore areas around painting and sculpture a key part of my practice is time spent experimenting with prospective materials. My approach is one of speculative making and in the last few years my practice has shifted from dyed and painted textiles to pigment impregnated paper. The physical process of fabrication, submerging the paper into warm glue then manipulating it into shape whilst still warm and wet is all part of the enjoyment.  I describe these works as ‘feeling-scapes of the body’.
