Blending Fibre Art with Cloth Accessories
My work is informed by rescaling tailoring methods & 3D cutting
to redefine both ‘cloth-based accessories’ and ‘off the body’ artworks.
Inspired by ‘storytelling’ from folklore calendar customs
from the British timeline’
Employing tailored cutting techniques in natural cloth,
concentric layers over stacked wooden frames
and the origins and purposes of men's cloth accessories
from the 11th to the 20th century.

The 1st, August grain harvest.
A time for gathering
and giving thanks for the abundance of the harvest.
Weaving corn-dolls and
baking loaves from the new grain.

The Gaelic May Day festival.
Halfway between the spring equinox
and the summer solstice.
As Jack ‘O’ The Green Kills the spirit of spring
to usher in the summer
as the villagers light fire’s & dance the maypole.
