He uses a domestic sewing machine to applique and free embroider personal narratives or ideas, inspired by memorabilia or his collection of vintage ‘Stitchcraft’ magazines.
He aims to draw and paint with textiles, his mark making is achieved through sewing, contrasting surface qualities and embellishment.
