During the project to celebrate and showcase the fabulous wildflower meadows at Birches Farm, Kington, I was struck by the huge variety and colour of the wild flowers, and just how little I knew about them - their many names (each one seemed to have several!) and their uses before the advent of modern medicines and dyes. The same struck me on reading the 1930, and 1945 diaries of the farmer whose family had farmed the land for generations - words he used in the diary, once commonplace, have gone out of use. I became fascinated by the ice pond at Birches Farm, what it was and how it was formed. I researched ice ponds, which are a distinct feature in the north-west of the county, having formed in the last ice age, (c22,000 years ago) when a glacial finger retreated. This led me to imagining and creating different ice age pond forms using natural bio resin, and mixed media.

I was born in and now live and work in Herefordshire. Much of my work is inspired by this stunningly beautiful and rural county which is rich in fertile red clay soil and undulating fields and hills. It has a unique and ancient geology. Hundreds of millions of years ago it was a shallow marine environment, and there are still traces of that today. The landscape I see, and what lies beneath it is a wonder; it fascinates, absorbs (maybe obssesively!), and delights me. It is more ancient than human beings, and it needs our understanding, our respect and our protection. I am also inspired by the age old cycles of growth, decline, renewal - that nothing is perfect, nothing lasts, and nothing is ever finished. I am interested in creating pieces that reflect these things whether from an environmental, social or political perspective.
