Here is a large collection of earlier artwork. The gallery begins with a bronze work based on a microscopic sea creature, (Radiolarian) and a series of works made from handmade paper ‘shells’ cast from round river rocks. I often used branches as an armature for my handmade paper, and would treat the surface of the paper with beeswax or resin and pigments, include internal illumination, or add inclusions of natural materials.
