“Taking as her starting point early embroidered samplers and quilts the artist has subverted these traditions by making the work out of a variety of items including cotton lace, spices (hibiscus flowers, cloves, star anise, black pepper), confectionery, plastic vegetable netting, nut shells, mother of pearl buttons, galvanised iron hooks, string and sundry beach pickings (seaweed, oyster shells, other shells) all of which have been embedded into latex over bubble wrap.”
