Water Sprite

Paper string, hand colouring, looping

Water Sprite is a celebration of the spirit of the sea and the regenerative wonder of our ocean waters.  My work is often based in the landscape and the natural world and I seek to champion the environment by reminding us in sculpture of our relationship with such a precious resource.  We are drawn to the ocean, feeling alive and restored when immersed in the sea, walking along the shoreline, or sitting and staring out at the water.

The choice to use paper, and the variegated blues achieved by hand colouring is a deliberate act. The long process of weaving using a looping technique echoes the contemplative quietude and tranquillity felt when by the ocean.
