Statement

Faded, frayed ... pieced and layered ...
as cloths are joined and patched together
eccentricities in surface and stitch
are revealed.

Contrasts in colour, texture, seams and
raw edges, form their own visual language.

Each stitch, both considered and instinctive,
becomes a painterly mark ...
evoking a sense of landscape,
both physical and emotional ... traces of journey
... suggestion of cypher ...
