For this exiting new exhibition “Echoes and Threads,” I have been drawing my inspiration from our prehistoric ancestors and their spiritual journeys of ceremony, ritual, and daily life. My ongoing work for this project is to create a unique new series of Sound Paintings inspired by my recordings of acoustic instruments played within ancient prehistoric sites in Wiltshire, Stonehenge and Avebury. Additionally for this theme I have designed a small collective of tunics and waistcoats with hand-weaving details inspired by the crafts and petroglyhs of the Neolithic and Bronze age people. I am continuing to develop this body of works which is currently on show in my Studio 9 at Fisherton Mill, Salisbury.
