These are original collages composed of textiles, paper , acrylic paint, ink and whatever I find that ticks the box and sticks to the canvas.

Gleaming with the Gold of a Hard Life Well Lived
So many threads have twisted between her ancient fingers, thickening, becoming substance from
fine fibres.
The carded wool is like floss, too young to hold fast, but smooth; so smooth.
Even so, splinters of burr and blackthorn can still prick her leathery kind hands, while her foot
rocks peacefully on the treadle, as it has for six decades.
Card it , spin it, reel it. Then over again,
The ply feels alive in her aching hands, and when the sun is low in the deep window,
it gleams with the gold of a hard life, well lived.
