A manmade forest of lampshades

Forests are home to some of our planet's most extraordinary biodiversity, they are also essential in the fight against climate change. Deforestation and farming techniques are a large contributor to wildfires. There's simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don't stop deforestation. Forest loss and damage through deforestation and wildfires is the cause of around 10% of global warming.

To Be What I Seem, 2022 (screen printed chiffon, found objects, watercolour paintings)

Three women, three lives, three names. Alexia Wilson, Marjorie Godfrey and Helena Romanes were three remarkable women who made a huge contribution to their town of Dunmow and it's people. I wanted to bring these women into the museum, into the gallery to give them an audience as part of the exhibition that ran alongside 'What I learnt from my Grandmother, a Highstile Projects collaboration of events, workshops and commissions. The three women's portraits were printed onto chiffon creating beautiful scarfs, perhaps only Alexia would have worn her scarf but I hope all three would enjoy the idea. Similar versions of their adornments on each photograph were sourced from local charity shops and painted in watercolour on the plinth, a set of pearls, a pair of glasses and a brooch. Whilst searching for these object and looking through old spectacles, I was reminded of my own grandmother, a pair for everything and a hearing aid. She was deaf from the age of 22, something I never really thought about until after her daughter, my mother died. My grandmother taught me how to play whist, how to shell peas, how to knit clothes for my Tiny Tears, and how to just be. She had no expectations, she was grateful to be here. 'To Be What I Seem' is not only about three women who shaped the landscape of Dunmow, but about so many more women who have made a difference to the lives of others. 
NB 'To Be What I Seem' is the translation of 'Esse Quam Viden' the motto chosen by Majorie for Berbice House the school she founded'

The Lipstick Effect : A homage to my Mother, 2020 (Lipstick, glue and paint)

“As we jogged over to the start Tom said ‘God, you’re wearing lipstick!’ I always wear lipstick, what’s wrong with that? ‘Somebody might see you are a girl and not let you run, take it off’I will not take off my lipstick!” In 1967 Katherine Switzer went on to be the first woman to run a marathon despite being grabbed on route by the race official, Jock Semple, who tried to stop her. It was not until 1972 that women were allowed to run the Boston Marathon officially. Lipstick has made an impact across the centuries, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth I and Marilyn Monroe were all massive fans of red lipstick, using it as a symbol of power, affluence, femininity and glamour as well as rebellion as the suffragettes proved when they marched for the rights of women wearing red lipstick. Only recently American politician and activist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was quoted … “any attempt to make femininity trivial or unimportant is an attempt to take away my power, so I’m going to wear the red lipstick” Fashioned in the style of the rosettes adorned by the lipstick wearing suffragettes, The Lipstick Effect' is a celebration of lipstick and all lipstick wearing females around the world, from the vibrant reds (the largest of the trio) to the purples and pinks and a few shades in-between.

* The Lipstick Effect is often attributed to the act of seeking and purchasing inexpensive beauty products in a time of economic uncertainty.

Mesopotamia: the land between two rivers, 2011 (cut vinyl on card)

A series of cut vinyl paintings (30 in total) which capture an area of the local town often used as the scene of mock elections during the nineteenth century. ‘Mesopotamia’ (the land between two rivers) was the name given to the small island which formed where the River Chelmer branched before reuniting at the junction with the Can. Matching maps from the nineteenth century to the existing landscape the old island area encompassed land both sides of Springfield Road east of the river as it crosses near the town, an area now filled with shops and car parks.
