on small fragments of chalk which had fallen to the bottom of the crumbling chalk bank opposite her studio.
“I am a drawer who uses sound, line and colour to express the vibrancy of immediate experience, celebrate the routinely unnoticed and interrogate the boundaries between reality and imagination.”
