Care
Memory, family, beauty, love
Key to my bio is ‘I learnt from my grandmother’. She made from nothing, handing happiness for free.
From these roots, my current practice is an ongoing conversation with my surroundings to understand, evaluate and redefine myself.
Nurturing
Through my baby wraps (above) I want to express the joy of providing a shield, a home (roots), a vessel and a source (wings) to our children.
This bond between mother & child must be understood and supported as it remains key to our humanity.

In the words of Nobel Laureate poet Saramago, having a child is an act of courage. AMEN to that
I knit breasts as tender but powerful female body parts
Motherhood is a temple: we should be visible
She’s blindfolded because she does not know what she is doing
Motherhood is a temple: help us be confident

Soy Madre. Soy artista. SOY
Would you like to work unpaid in a society measuring you by money?
Resist
Response, emotion
Motherhood has opened my eyes.
The world is too cruel without someone caring for you.
I knit, weave, fold and stitch - yarn, copper wire, fibre & (waste) fabric.
Motherhood
I put matter into sculpted material (above) which praises mothers' courage, patience, strength, instinct, constancy, vitality, inspiration, and tireless fight against invisibility .
Motherhood is a temple. I never added more value than as a mother.
