The notion of nesting and safety is a common theme in my work. I enjoy working with gut and a variety of organic materials and found objects. Gut is somewhat fragile and transparent. I feel that the delicate nature of my structures helps support the idea of the desire to protect the inhabitants of homes, or dwelling places. I enjoy using wishbones, seed pods, eggs and other objects. For me, these objects represent life and hope. Gut is never particularly predictable, I often work with a loose idea and then continue by responding to the way in which the gut dries and bends.
