Inspiration comes from many different
places. When my son came home with a series of photographs he had taken
at an antique shop, I was immediately drawn to the lines and shapes
within the images and wondered what would happen if they were
abstracted. These
pieces all evolved from seven photographs. The antiques were composed
of cement, clay, metal and wood, all of which are rigid. Textiles are
soft and flat. The simplification of the shapes seemed to create a
rhythmic dancing flow that suited the cloth and was quite different
than the harsh substances of the original objects.
