peripatetic(adj.) itinerant, going from place to placeReferencing the Onkaparinga River S.A. and the Albert and Logan Rivers Qld.
This 'river' traces the literal journey from Qld to SA from the air- with actual enscribed fragments of the Australian landscape on the journey.Using plants collected and stitched into the vessels from both states and in the dyed silk 'river'.
There is also the metaphoric 'journey' I travelled.

Eco-Dyeing
For the last year I have been experiemnting with using plants, leaves, fruits and vegetables to dye fabric and paper. I also use a natutal mordant which 'fixes' the colour to the fabric naturally- no chemicals used in the creation! Here are some of my latest 'WEARABLE ART' creations. One- off unique T-Shirts! I have all sizes, mens, womens and students....$40 each.

2012 Science Week
I was honoured to be asked to diplay some of work in the Beautiful new Queensland Government Eco- Science Precinct near the old Boggo Rd Jail, for Science Week... A lot of my work connects closely to my observations within the scientific world. I think Scientists and Artists in their professions both notice things.My work relates directly to the places where I gather materials, my viewing of natural phenoma and changes in the environment. As well as comments on Global warming, Recycling, Erosion and the minutae of life in the natural world.
