My embroidery is inspired by industrial metal music, abandonment, apocalyptic life and death. 

 

I often wonder how I would survive if the world had changed and I had to live in one of my embroidered worlds, what would suddenly become very important and what would become useless.

 

My work gives a slight feeling of unease as though you are hiding from something, maybe even a childhood memory of running away from things that scared you.

 

I have used all sorts of reclaimed fabrics in my work, from prayer flags that I had on my canal boat, to vintage linen found in a charity shop. I love the feeling from the history of a fabric, what has it seen over the years?

 

So it has been quite the journey from my first embroidery of a snowflake when I was six to the gothic decay of today.
