Retracing site-the Nympheas

This curated collection of past works is a response to the interelationship between my childhood experiences of garden and that of the Giverny water garden of Claude Monet in France with particular emphasis on the willow.The willow and poplar have become embedded in my work as ‘guardians of place’, carrying deep meanings connected to childhood spaces where formative experiences of landscape took hold; those which reinforce the power of memory and as place linked to ones origin.
