I moved to Hastings from London, where I had studios & exhibited with many artist groups. I now exhibit with artist groups along the south coast & enjoy working with younger artists across different disciplines. I lived and worked in Italy, developing from a painter into a 3D object maker & was influenced by the Arte Povera movement, with its emphasis on choosing materials for their qualities, rather than representation. My work explores the intrinsic qualities of fragility & instability in papers
