BEAUTIFUL YARNS, NEW WORK AND SHEILA HICKS


This new piece of I have been working on is called "Thinking out loud" and is made from tubes and a metal ring that have been wrapped in yarn, sewn together and suspended. I later decided to add the red yarn weaving in and out of the piece to represent the way connections are made in our thoughts, neural networks etc.
I had the great joy to see 'Sheila Hicks : Stones of Peace' at the Alison Jacques gallery a week or two ago and it was an absolute pleasure. I have loved Sheila's work for sometime but never managed to see an exhibition in the flesh, (or should I say fibre), before. I found it truly inspiring which you can probably tell from this new piece that I have just shown you.

AUTUMN COLOUR AND CROCHETED WIRE



This is a new piece I have been making recently by crocheting wire, called 'Grow, then let go.'



 I have been trying to capture some of the amazing vibrant autumnal colours in my garden to hang on to in the greyer winter months
