My paintings/ collages are collaged from dried layers of acrylic or household paint. I manipulate my work at different drying stages by scraping, folding, cutting, drawing into and building up. Some of my paintings are built up by combining collage techniques with traditional handcraft, such as basket weaving, knitting and crocheting. I choose my references quickly, working from a gut instinct, then I convert the selected image into what I loosely describe as a ‘painting’.
