"Olé Fushchia-shee (Pregnant Samurai’s Mexican vacation)" Sculpture

I create art that is magical, mystical and playful. Sacred art allows the viewer to use it a source of power and enlightenment. My most recent couple of collections have been “Shapeshifter” clothing: huge capes and masks for women who need to transform themselves. Sustainability is important to me and, as part of my ethos, I try to make beautiful things by upcycling. I weave pieces of recycled fabric on homemade looms (such as one made from an old bed). I create using ritualistic gestures. Every new series of work has pre-determined movements, like choreography, so that my body becomes used to the rhythms required for each piece. My inspiration comes from a range of things such as pop culture, sacred geographies and science fiction.
