I've worked with art and design since my early adult life on a semi-professional basis. I later studied 20th C Art History Philosophy of Mind, Neuropsychology and Psychoanalysis alongside my creative practice and found myself fascinated by debates on different structural patterns shared between them. Wanting to create an original aesthetic, and inspired by the Minimalist use of rules for grid based abstraction, I developed a complex recipe for my design process. I used patterns of different ways of thinking as rules to map different ways of composing (including failure of composition or what YA Bois terms 'non-composition'). From these layered compositions, I make designs for textile pieces as I love the 'non-monumentality' of the medium. I'm currently putting together a book on the ideas I've been fascinated by, then used, to create a matrix of different structural registers for abstract elements in art and design.
