British born, I am a contemporary artist with an experimental approach to dress design, soft sculpture installation, and drawing. My art is an inquiry into the relationship between design, the body, human behavior and the environment and how these play out with technology. Cloth in my work is used to explore the interrelationship between the permeable /impermeable nature of identity, of skin acting as a mediating layer between emotion and perception. I am drawn to the first half of the 20th century, of Dada, the Surrealists, Fluxus, and the conceptual aftermath of art on its continuous edge of exercising its potential. I am also deeply moved by the romantic sublime. My interdisciplinary process allows me to discover new pathways for human and non-human connections. This is a means to develop a social consciousness that sees both in constant intersection; of depth and expansion rather than seeing one having dominion over the other.

In various projects I explore clothing as shelter, as site for grieving, as a vehicle to the immaterial, and as a communal vessel for the intimate and the poetic. With ‘dress’, textiles and illustration, I re-imagine identity in the relationships between the human, animal and environment; an inquiry where machine and hand made can flourish. My work has traveled nationally and internationally to art fairs, film festivals, biennials, and in solo and group exhibitions. I am also an art educator living in Montpelier, VT.
