A place to dream, sketch and inspire the imagination, my backyard as I live/work in CBD.

I take inspiration and respond directly to the Park Lands, not copying what I see but use my sketches to create spontaneous detailed surfaces activating creative thinking.

This symbolic nest, an emotive tactile narrative includes an environmental message; help shape a sustainable future and protect our Park Lands, a home to birds and animals.

Embracing the natural world, birds spend lots of time and effort making their nests out of found objects to nurture and protect their young. The ‘nest’ is a beautiful inspiring symbol that represents, warmth, safety, identity, and home.

My 3-D Nest (using recycled materials) involves few 100’s hours of free machine embroidery, tapestry weaving, wrapping, handmade cords, other textile techniques, and 9 stitched individual 3-D birds. It is unique, created entirely by my hands, alike the uniqueness and nature of our Park Lands.
