“I love the ambiguity of the aesthetic. On first glance, it can look like a simple pencil sketch but something’s awry. As you get closer sharp lines come into focus, creating a spectacular image made of masses of thread. The designs are first plotted out before being filled out with the thread, the sharp angles contrasting with the floating loose ends. And despite the complexity of this lengthy process I try to capture a great feeling of energy and spontaneity, and, in some cases, humour.”
