A thread running throughout my work is confusion of the animate and inanimate, an approach to form leading back to the Surrealists. Objects with the potential to be more than one thing, that slip across categories, are the catalysts for this work. In Collar, the braided form twists up like a snake towards the delicate, embroidered textile above. There is an attempt, in this drawing, to wrestle with and stretch the boundaries of the feminine into a new shape.
