Statement...

I create unique, individual objects of desire, developed through serendipity, destiny and karma as wearable art pieces, which can be sensually draped about the body or displayed and adored.I deconstruct vintage and non-vintage garments and attach the separate pieces to a mannequin, pinning and unpinning until I am satisfied with the form. Working in this way enables me to make wonderful discoveries of the properties and potential of the fabric, allowing it to dictate what will eventually become a three dimensional sculpture. I work instinctively, losing myself in the fabric and the emerging structure, ignoring trends, wearability and the expectations of the slaves of the ordinary. Each piece is then embellished with a variety of curios; original printed linings, or vintage buttons and jewels.
