I am a member of Eclectica, an exhibiting textile group
based in the Midlands but my background is in mathematics and statistics. I worked as a statistician for the Medical
Research Council and taught for many years in colleges and universities.
Now retired, I spend my time mainly making music, going to
the theatre and cinema, being with my family and making textiles. I've knitted, sewn and crocheted since I was
a child but have only developed some sort of artistic approach in the last few
years. My work is truly eclectic – it
just depends on what inspires me – and I use a variety of materials from fabric
and thread to paint, paper, dye and metal.
My camera expired recently and I am enjoying exploring a new one.
Fibonacci Fish
Hand embroidery on pieced fabric.
The sides of the squares follow the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5.
I won second prize in contemporary embroidery competition this piece of work.
