SPIRIT COMES ALIVE 2024

SPIRIT COMES ALIVE series of drawings on vellum were completed during the Hugo Burge Foundation one month artist residency at Marchmont Estate in Scotland. The first few of these were sketches to work with new ideas and to loosen up my drawing, then I continued doing several each day for a total of twenty-four. I was also working on a few earth work sculptures, a large installation of photocopied photographs and drawings and developing a fibre-arts embroidered sculpture. The look to combine organic forms with geometric shapes as well as introduce hints of figural elements.

Knock on Woods 2008

KNOCK ON WOODS

In 2008, Yvette Porter put out a Call for Artists as part of her ongoing international Knock on Woods project.
I was accepted to participate in the on-site residency on Mayne Island where I spent an afternoon gathering flora & fauna, cutting to size and capturing them in slide frames.
