Then came the Wall Hangings

Exploring techniques further, I hit upon the rug making, rag rolling road. Anyone who has ever used either of these methods, will know how long and pains takingly tedious they can be.  It was important to me though to keep pushing the ideas as far as they would go.

Out of many different experiments, I ended up with two I was really pleased with. The two works - 'Wave' and 'Discarded landscape', took several weeks to make and used a variety of bags - mostly donated by friends, family and neighbours who were really keen to find a use for them.

Both works have been exhibited in several recycling exhibitions.
