My work springs from a love of printing fabric – be it recycled bedsheets, sheer curtains, worn linen table clothes or silk – and a love of all things botanical.

The tools have been silk screens, djanting tools, discharge paste, soy wax, crockpots, string and wooden rods. I love the steps through different processes and techniques: at the point each landing feels exciting and experimental. I relish the chance to delve deeper into a particular technique, range of colour or – as with the eco-printing – an exploration of which plants in the garden or on my daily walks have tannin and will give a clear print on the silk.
