Artwork notes

Letters and marks become an image rather than a conventional printed poem.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Collage, lettering and textiles move geometry between page and fabric.

Marks and structure

Repeated units can structure both a human figure and a wearable pattern.

Palette and light

Limited, strongly contrasted colours support clear reading and repeated production.
