Memory quote.
"Memories are haunting. Every now and then something you've tried to forget, forgive and move on from comes back as strong as ever and threatens to make you crumble. Pushing them to the back of your mind seems a good solution at first, but they won't stay there forever. So I wonder is it possible to forgive and forget? or does it just keep coming back? "

How to:
suck all of the fun out of making and creating work and make it all about how to sell your pieces of work to galleries and not at all about the making process.

Current work- moving slowly
Family secrets/history
Glass
Family secrets written directly onto wine glasses
Fabric for table cloth- image maker used to transfer family photographs of various people and mono-printing used to draw out the photographs and missing things out from the photographs. I'm also using stitching to add detail and to outline people in the photographs, as though they have been cut out.

Foundation work
My art foundation helped me make lots of different stuff, I'm lashing them on here for an easy life.
Most of my stuff is about childhood, families and memories
My final project was about false memories and how easy it is to remember events from your childhood in a totally different way than how they probably did happen. I also worked on the familiar, common events that happen in everyone's life.
I don't remember a lot of my childhood and it really bloody annoys me.
I merged different peoples similar memories
I made children's shoes and toys out of childrens sweets- chocolate, jelly, icing.
I made worry dolls and Russian dolls out of different peoples photographs...
And made an installation with the work in a museum display with false memories for every object or photograph.
