"Amend – to revise, to repair, to correct.

"The wreaths of flowers are constructions of botanical patterns taken from found vintage textiles. The highly coloured, baroquely exuberant imagery , designed for domestic embellishment , has been shifted into shades of black and white. There are also shifts in placement, scale, material or surface.

"My interest in these artificial representations of nature is as reflections of complex impulses of interference, manipulation and idealization, expressive of a desire to be connected, to make order, to find meaning."
