My work is informed by a fascination with botanical elements. I collect and arrange until I find a way of presenting them that resonates with me. My aim is to elevate and honour the diversity and beauty of their form. I use assemblage to display dynamic patterns of roots and seeds. I also enlarge images of delicate plant materials to capture their varied textures. These are then printed on textile. My work is underscored by the sadness of biodiversity loss, and the hope that the appreciation of its wonder can prompt positive change in our world.
