"As a child simple things become jewels; pebbles,
shells, a feather. They are treasures worth
collecting, contemplating or threading on a string.
The careful handling, and/or play of such objects,
creates not only a deeper understanding, but also
an infinite connection between memory and the
place from which the object came. My work
explores this connection by referencing tiny
objects loaded with meaning. These playful and
evocative creations are the imaginative conclusions
that have trickled out of my studio (once cubby
house) nestled in the hills surrounding the Bega
Valley. They are a place to invest memory, while
simultaneously, invite us to wear, handle and warm
them to life."
