Resist:
be modern (again)
Shown at the John Hansard Gallery, Southampton in 2019 printed pieces made in collaboration with artist and curators Alice Maude-Roxby and Stefanie Seibold.
Large printed works were hung throughout the exhibition and subsequently used on the cover of the accompanying book (published 2020).
​
Taking initial designs by Alice and Stefanie and inspired by the work and process of Enid Marx I printed 50m of cloth. The final designs emerge, as the patterns layer creating a rhythm of colour and design.
This work reflects print as a physical process, the rhythm of the woodblock, the blending of colour and the weaving of pattern.

I founded Natural Colour Systems to explore plant based colour and its material applications. Currently, I am researching colours and processes and undertaking commissions for limited edition production.
I am looking for collaborative partners and new projects and am excited about sharing my knowledge through consulting and education.
