This work explores the boundaries of a brief using a series of squares folded and layered, similar to a M.C. Escher geometric conundrum. I calculated and designed multiple handerkerchiefs, folded to create an impossible 3D structure that remained flat. I used a discarded 12 inch sheet of acid-free Daler-Rowney mountboard/core 1400 microns thickness, and incised and peeled back layers to create tone. The 3D rounded-effect is achieved by selective ink-wiping techniques to create shadows & highlights. Selected as the lead image by the Curator of Philadelphia Museum for the 8th International Footprint Biennial poster. I am an interdisciplinary artist with work in public collections: Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum, British Museum, Royal Collection, Ashmolean, Yale Centre for British Art USA; public museums in Japan, China, Iraq, Egypt, Italy, Denmark, Venice etc. I have done artist residencies in Venice, France and London; taught at Middlesex University & Royal Academy, London
