Brought to light

Installation: light box, acetate film, pre-loved toys, sand     H47 W200 D60cm

The ‘damaged’ inverted soft toys invite interaction.    Strangely enough visitors often buried them.  This work had a previous life in 2009 as ‘Soft toys dark work‘

Imprint of her thoughts

Mild steel, lavender, organza     H98 W90 D65cm

A pair of ‘chairs’ bearing the imprint of one another.   The scent of lavender rewarded all who succumbed to caressing the seats

Coil

Galvanised wire, tulip branch, wood casket+trestles     H83 W157 D82cm

An elegant branch prunning painstakingly dried and wire bound. Then came the cremation. Manhandled, the remains lie in a casket ready for the wake

In death, there is no dignity. In memory of the artist’s parents, neither of whose funeral she attended

Coil was first shown in 2009.  Click here to see how it was made

Cracking up

Holly trunk, found objects     Dimensions vary

The artist’s first experience of curating a group show. The title speaks for how she felt
