Common Birds is a concertina book. The other works are drawings and collage pieces.
All that pattern in Seville and Granada got me hungry for more and so I set about collaging my Ikea drawers with something more inspiring. I think it turned out good. A Saturday well spent with trusty paper and glue.
A surfeit of pattern, but real harmony. Spaces that are calming and restful. Tranquil courtyards. Icing sugar. Marble and plaster-work like lace. Shadows falling across floors from latticed windows. Vistas of the landscape viewed through delicate arches. the sound of fountains and the smell of jasmine. Kittens playing in the gardens. Palm trees and lavender.
