‘ ‘Currents’ is a textile piece inspired by the forest stream in Pool Meadow created using beautiful linen fabric, dyed and painted with my natural inks and paints. The pulled threads give the impression of ripples in the stream and grommets around the holes represent stones. I love the way the water currents curl around the stones creating beautiful waving shapes. It is wonderful how streams reflect their surroundings, reminding me that water is not only blue, but also green and brown reflecting the plants, trees and soil that surrounds them.’
‘Horsetail Reed’ is a hollow sculpture created from waxed linen painted with coffee and walnut ink. Pulled threads mimick the rippled segments in the Giant Horsetail reeds that dominate Pool Meadow. Found fishing wire sewn around the segments represents the random hairy strands typical of Horsetail. The hollow structure allows water to travel up the Horsetail walls for water retention.’
