Social observation and
a keen nose for a story fuels her work, seeking this both within the human and
the natural world. A blend of fact and fiction is used to create pieces that

These findings may be
investigated through a new pattern translated in wire, an installation
exploring an imaginary place, a three-dimensional cartoon or a sculptural
object reflecting social history.
