About The Artwork
Ballerina is made with metal scraps found on the foreshore of the River Thames in London. It has hard to believe that some old nails, a crushed metal lid and part of an old school compass can be put together to create a dancer. The bouquet of flowers is also made using scraps of metal pulled from the Thames mud. As for the other collages I make, I love to imagine the past lives of these objects, which have been discarded long ago into the mud. Who owned them, and what were their lives like? The metal pieces are glued securely to wood which has been painted with acrylic black paint. There is a hook and wire on the back.

I am a self-taught artist with a passion for using found objects in my artwork. The objects I use have been collected along the banks of the River Thames and the River Medway. As a Thames mudlark, I discover objects daily with a story behind them and I love the idea of giving these lost or discarded objects new life in a piece of art. Each item I use has a past history and a secret story. I like for the person looking at the artwork to see beyond the superficial nature of the art, and for their imagination to go on a journey as they imagine the person who last touched that clay pipe, or where the fragment of glass or pottery came from.
