Interior Designer
Believes in serendipity – though only the prepared can act on those chance discoveries. Has worked in retail design before finding the joys of exhibition design.

Object of Desire
Crude, somewhat deformed and rescued from a dusty workshop floor, the whirligig man conjures up memories of my childhood and the ingenuity of my grandfather.  Using the parabola from a simple piece of string, once begun the whirligig man pedals up and down on his tightrope by his own accord.  Cobbled together from bits and pieces scrounged from my grandfather’s workshop – a pulley, the handle of a tool for a counterbalance, a leftover block of wood – for me it is folk art at its best.  It is its imperfections – what is so wrong with it – that adds to my delight.
