"The ocean of the Streams of Story was in fact the biggest library in the universe. And because the stories were held here in fluid form, they retained the ability to change, to become new versions of themselves, to join up with other stories and so become yet other stories; so, that unlike a library of books, the ocean of the Streams of Story was much more than a storeroom of yarns. It was not dead but alive." - Salman Rushdie, Haroun and the Sea of Stories

My interest in autobiographical note-making, journal-keeping and storytelling are combined as I explore the symbolic language which continues to unfold through my weaving. When I weave I am writing and each piece I make celebrates my pleasure in and appreciation of the abstract nature of weaving and its potential as a vehicle for recording my feelings and ideas in a direct, intuitive and vital way.
