THREE WARP ENDS, 2021, a series of photographs of three pieces of linen thread, c. 3 cm each

These three pieces are talking to each other, even though they are not. One gives them little personalities.
Because there’s just three of them, the responsibility is largest on each individual, and because of that, they work to more potency.
It is all about the placing and the spaces in between.
They are nothing very much, but they are quite a lot if you see it. They’re all unfolding possibilities.

Studio arrangement with beach finds, 1989
Rope Tower, 1993, ropes curled around a carved polystyrene form, 210 x 40 cm

Waves washing against the shore and the changing space between land and sea provide an endless source of material for work.
Many pictures and collages are the result of long holidays on the Sussex coast at Selsey.
