Universal Patterning

For a long time, I've been drawn to universal imagery in our world - shapes, textures and patterns that reappear abundantly. Surface markings intrigue me including the beauty of corrosion (for example rust, copper patination), as well as that of ceramic texture.

I enjoy making images that evolve as one looks at them, ... sparking associations that develop and deepen. I combine elements that wouldn't normally be seen together, creating a new entity which is meaningful to me.

Somehow, one process leads to another. This is a great joy.

Mixed media cuffs, necklaces and earrings that are lightweight and flexible have evolved out of my experimentation.

The journey continues. I know how lucky I am to have been able to indulge my curiousity.

The warp and weft of life and creativity ... guiding what may happen by chance.
