‘Pinched’ This use of multiple paper shapes represents the movement of the river Kent, used in the James Cropper paper mill to create their range of natural coloured papers.




A representation of the rhythmic movement of water. Located in the Lake District since 1845, James Cropper Speciality Papers work in harmony with nature and with leading global luxury brands.

TreeCreeper #2 consists of hundreds of paper circles rolled into fungi-like shapes attached on a tree log that is situated in the river.

‘Twisted’ An immersive site-specific installation located within a secluded pathway in a Derbyshire town. One-thousand warp threads create a three dimensional architectural piece.




‘The Wirksworth Festival Of Visual Arts’ “Wirksworth and its surrounds have a unique character and situation, positioned at the meeting point between rural and urban, agricultural and industrial, ancient and contemporary.”





An isolated field barn was transformed in a temporary landscape installation for National Wool Week. The barn - one of only a handful of surviving ‘hog-houses’ in the North Pennines - celebrates the local Swaledale sheep breed and the role they played in the changing face of this beautiful corner of England’s last wilderness.



‘Seven Spires’ A series of large red spires along a half-mile stretch of the Oxford Canal around the village of Braunston. The installation explores the role of the river, landscape and heritage as part of the FLOW Northamptonshire project. The piece can be explored on foot, or by narrow boat.





The install of the spires took two full days and involved a van to transport them down to Braunston, a barge to bring them as near to the section of canal as possible, then a sit on lawn mower and trailer to take each spire and its components to its location.
