‘Text, texture and textile: three words which reflect my practice as a mixed-media artist. I’m drawn to thread, pen, ink and paper and work somewhere on the cusp of these materials.

My hand-woven, delicate textiles are often a response in colour and line to resonant lines of text.

I enjoy working in book form, where ink and thread combine, and lettering can resemble woven texture. The fragile pages of old books, forgotten words, evocative places, delicate objects which suggest a story – these are things which inspire me.’ – Cathryn Gwynn
