I want to increase the strength & scale of structures I build; to create more ambitious parade art, sculptures & other interactive outdoor artworks that have a longer-lasting impact on my home environment & beyond. To develop from using willow/wood & explore metal as core material. I want to develop new strategies, meet new people & make new audiences.

As a 52-year old working-class woman who has spent much of her life within domestic settings, I’m interested in how we can use large-scale artworks to counteract the invisibility that many women face after a certain age & how we can champion unheard voices. To use metalwork as the basis for this challenges perceptions of traditional feminine materials & arts & although I hope to create beautiful structures, the relationship between beauty & strength is one I’m keen to underpin this process of development.
