Collage into Objects

My work has reached a point where my experiments with 2D collages and textile pieces are branching back out into more 3D work… I want to look at adapting more objects; recycling packaging and collecting together found materials, to create pieces that make their material reality accessible and continuous with those objects more easily seen as ‘natural’.

This morning I’ve been experimenting with stitching through a foil container onto wool blanket and collected treasures from my wanders through the forest and local charity shops…

Birds

The second day of the Salisbury Arts Festival/Museum workshops was an afternoon with 8 to 12 year olds and their parents… a chance for older children to design, construct and decorate bird sculptures - a workshop inspired by the impending departure of the museum’s natural history collection to new homes.
