Cycling, providing never ending and varied inspiration. Combining geometric shapes in bicycle design and accessories along with forms from the natural world I observed on my journeys travelled. Research has been from my cycle rides, cycle paraphernalia, cycle cafes, cycling magazines and local cycle events including the UCI championships held in Glasgow and cycle shows. Sustainability and experimentation with non-traditional yarns have been an important aspect to me. Working with spent inner tubes, discarded trainer laces, cable and elastic, plus using more traditional yarns and organic where possible and only using natural dye where required. All of which have fed into my colour palette. Creating designs and fabric for interior settings.
