New Fibre Sculptures

It has been five months since my exhibition "New Fibre Sculpture". It was a fantastic experience to produce a body of work that is very personal to me and exhibit it for the public to view and ponder. Combining two of my passion art and sport may seem an unusual combination, but in fact it was a very logical and natural decision for me. I started working with plant fibre at the age of five with the nurturing and mentoring of Nalda Searles my aunt. Sport has been a lifelong pursuit, joining Little Athletic at the age of six and progressing to Ironman racing today. Both of passions have required the same dedication and reflection of myself. I see each piece of my fibre work as a marathon and the process of training my body to its limits an artwork.
