Boat Sculptures

My work has developed into a series of boats. The link is still strong between, memory, existence, exploration of materials and surfaces. Life's journey,the fragility of threads, fabrics and fastenings. Maps have been replaced by books pages and book covers as well as the spines and page edges worked well to age the boat sails. The boats are based on the 'Royal Fleet' and 'Sirens' who lured ships on to the rocks. My boats are positioned onto old sewing machines which represent the ships wheel, the threads are quite often the anchor and the kneedles replaced with fishing hooks.
