Little pebbles on the shore are deposited and then washed back in a constant swirl of change. Our lives are like this and we should live a life spreading waves of honesty and compassion to others all around.

Red Dot, Infinite love

These pieces reflect my first year of loss and grief after my eldest son passed away in the autumn of 2020. I spent many hours by his grave during that time, until I became sick in the summer of 2023.

Each one holds my pain, my love, and the journey of processing his absence, a journey that felt like moving through a spiral, revisiting sorrow and love while slowly expanding toward understanding. I can no longer visit as often. He’s not there anyway; his essence transcends a physical place.

When my son Enzo was a child, he would say to me, "Te amo, mami, hasta el infinito punto rojo," which translates to, "I love you, Mom, to infinity and the endless red dot." It was his playful yet profound way of expressing boundless love.

The red dot became a symbol of our unique connection, and after his passing, it has taken on even deeper meaning for me. Endless love reflects the eternal and unbroken bond I feel with him, transcending time and space.

The Red Spiral

"I recently took part in my first solo action as a Red Rebel as part of a global event regarding COP29 and felt the need to create some artwork linked to it

As I was making my Rebel costume for the event, a number of long thin strips of red velvet fabric scattered across the floor at my feet and I saw a spiral form within which I thought ironic but also intriguing...to many of us the COP events are spiralling out of control and away from the original intentions, as environmental activists we often feel despair spiralling downwards that our beautiful planet and life on it is suffering, and we are helpless.

And yet, to me the spiral represents so much more too...spiritually it represents strength, evolution, growth and transformation...maybe signifying my involvement in climate change activism, as a Red Rebel etc, and how I'm evolving personally and my hanging on to hope for the future and not to give up.

The three statements within the spiral are the quotes from Red Rebel founder Doug Francisco used in our COP29 RedLines action 'Red lines crossed, deadlines missed, lifelines crossed...time is running out!' red symbolises the common blood that runs through us all (hence our red costumes) and I felt the honesty seed heads quite apt because they also are symbolic of many things including honesty (obviously) truth, transparency, clarity and to show openness with no secrets and hidden motives...all things we require from our leaders at the COP meetings but are being failed on. The seed heads are ghostlike behind the red spiral signifying fragility of it all"

4 Prints Echoing my Long Covid Journey - String and ink on large Zerkall paper

By using regular household string, an item usually purposed with holding things together, as a printmaking medium attached to a baseboard in a spiral, the purpose of the string changes. It’s now a loose cannon, something unfit for purpose as a fastener, something new. It’s representing a body, riddled with doubt and transforming into a different form. The ink was applied with a roller, continuing the spiralling theme. Then the inked up string was hand pressed onto paper, a paper which is no longer manufactured, capturing a moment in time where maybe things were more stable.

The result is a piece comprising of 4 prints. As the series progresses, the spiral unravels from the centre, however it leaves the outermost shape intact. As covid, and then long covid ravaged my body, the outer shell remained, even though I could no longer trust my autonomic nervous system to keep me safe. This piece was made in reflection of my covid battle, in the early days, with ambulance call-outs and medication rejections. Like my prints, my body was unravelling. Now, two and a half years later, I am recovering, slowly piecing back together the lost ‘string spirals’ from my core.
