“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness”. This quotation by Khalil Gibran has resonated with me so much in the past twelve months.
As a mixed media artist with a lifelong passion for paper I am conscious of our vast use of materials and accumulation of resources. I am therefore trying to work in a more sustainable way, using and re-using paper and do not plan to replace the materials I am using in the coming year.
As a calligrapher and lettering artist, words often feature in my work but I leave traditional calligraphy behind, now preferring a more contemporary approach.
My design based background has always influenced my work and now does so more than ever. I am currently experimenting with paper of all kinds, to create semi-abstract works and books.
