Artist's Statement:
My favourite saying is 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'. I am passionate about sourcing vintage fabrics, ribbons, buttons, retro ties and other trinkets to transform into something new. I love to search through local jumble sales, flea markets, antique and charity shops to find interesting and unusual things to include in my designs.
My designs were developed out of a desire to buck the trend of 'buy it cheap, buy it in bulk, throw it away tomorrow' which seems to exist today. I want to re-use and to treasure what we already have, to look at objects in a new light and to see their potential to be developen into something new and interesting.
