I expect to feed images or thoughts on to this space about current themes that I'm developing but don't expect that the finished works will be presented for a while. They are likely to be kept "under wraps" until I am content that they have reached a stage to be exposed (all part of the creative process!). This news feed might tempt you to find out more as the work progresses, which is great and if you are genuinely interested, please ask me more...

Current projects include a few different threads of themes...  I originally trained as a weaver and my Degree is in Constructed Textiles, so now I'm looking at the comparisons, patterns, similarities, etc between building textiles and building peace. For example, what does the term, "the fabric of the community" mean as a metaphor or physically? How do the layers come together or does tension hold them apart?

I've also been aesthetically responding to facilitation work that I've been doing with a few communities who live along the peace walls in Belfast.

All of this work has come about since starting my Masters course. The strands are coming together and getting stronger. I'm inspired and fascinated...watch this space...
