Daze, #2 ©2022, 40" x 41" Daze, #2 is my fifth installment in my Wandering series. It is another reflection on my pandemic experience and in particular my acute awareness of all of the little repetitive motions in my life. Off the top of my head they include daily things like take my allergy pill, make the coffee, empty the dishwasher, cook the dinner, bring in the mail, feed the cat, put in my eyedrops, brush my teeth, water the garden, go for a walk, and so on. So many litt

Shells, sea weed of various shapes and colour, little pieces of wood, coral and flotsam from distance shores. Some of the debris on the shoreline is micro plastics or items left by holiday makers. I enjoyed creating the paler blue fabrics on the sandy beach and then enhancing the central section with hand stitching. Materials: commercial cotton and artist’s dy

I have been dabbling in trying new forms of expression. Palm inflorescences can be used for 2 dimensional wall hangings or wrapped/woven around a 3 D form.
