Circle stones surround mountain top
   Drinking up the clouds tears fall blue 
           Wind wipes away and dies

One of my favourite experiences is just looking up to the sky and watching the clouds. I wrote the poem and made the artwork that expresses the every changing light and movement. I hope you will experience this in my work. 

I grow and make my own woad dyes and pigments. The labour intensive process is part of the artwork. I love that I am able to do this and produce colours that otherwise wouldn't been seen. The soil, water and weather all play a unique role as well as making the dye and waiting patiently for the pigment to reveal its self. I fold the fine Japanese Paper then dip in the vats over and over till I get the colour I want.  
 
'Drinking Up The Clouds' is framed in a clear acrylic custom made box frame , mounted on museum board and ready to hang.

Exhibiting international and national award winning artist who practice also includes commission for commercial as well as private collectors. Creative artist making meaningful inspiriting poetic art to cherish.Indigo because it colours everything, all emotion, our fragile planet, our universe. Madder is the colour of open flesh, wounds and healing, love and heartbreak" Indigo, 6000 years of historical importance that continues to inspires me. I make my own non-toxic fermentation indigo vats using century old recipe, plant dyes and pigments from the Earth on washi, wool, silk, this contrasted with industrial materials- cast iron, steel, concrete, engages me in a dialogue that creates a deeper connectedness to being.The tension of light, ephemeral and heavy dark industry produces a emotional experience. I find the dust and grime ingrained surfaces, when the edges worn with layers of time, muted colours greyed into man made materials. The experience of being in a rivers current and looking up through the heavy deep grey black blue sky to a ray light reflecting back.
