Prints and wall based sculpture. The dichotomy between fine print and sculpture using found objects are key to this exhibition. This work is a response to my personal collection of unusual artefacts and artworks which is the 3 dimensional aspect to my work. It questions my desire, (and others) to collect and accumulate disparate objects and artefacts.The prints are a way of documentation, they are a more personal and spontaneous response than just writing things down and making lists.

Closed Mondays
This installation explores my obsession with collecting curious objects. they are placed in odd little cabinets and cases which further enhance their "curiousness", positioned behind glass, they are transformed into precious artefacts yet still cling to their inherent history.

The Miraculous Emporium of Amazing Altered Books
An installation curated by Sue Platt for Woodend Artists
Sue Platt built a huge bookcase from recycled materials and she and a number of Woodend artists created over 60 altered books to exhibit on and around it. From flying books to a bureau and chair, to a ballerina, beautifully stitched textile books, origami, interactive telephone book, graffiti, books transformed into 3D landscapes, scrolls, a garden shed, a whole range of techniques and subjects used, some in a flamboyant, decorative approach, whilst others quite understated and subtle, yet thought provoking.
