Artistic practice

Her art observes the passing of time, often in relationship to a particular place on the south Humber estuary where she lives and works, [3] or as self-portraiture. These take the form of painted or drawn constructions, modified books, and objects [4] which are created through process and systems of recording and use of materials, such as jet, [5] gathered from the beach; silverpoint and handmade gesso; and collage from antique books. [6]

Of her work she says “for the past twenty years or so, my visual preoccupation within my practice has manifested itself in terms of human form. Sometimes this has been bodies, but the power, for me, is around the head in some way. I did a series of some two hundred works, derived from more than eighty participants, just concentrating on their facial features, but I’m not sure I’d call them portraits. I have done portraits of other people, but perhaps, as an only child, who often had to entertain herself, the self-portrait has been most consistently prevalent throughout my practice.” [7]
