I enjoyed a two year residency at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford culminating in a one woman show in, the then brand new, Airspace hangar (built to house the British Aviation Collection).
Turner Prize winner Richard Deacon acted as mentor for the project.
There was lots of room to develop a body of larger work in the Conservation Hangar where I worked along side the Conservation Team. They shared their skills with me: bending and shaping aluminium, riveting, and stitching Irish linen over birch ply frames on bi-planes. I even got a chance to help with the stitching on the Oxford WWII aircraft which is hanging in the British Aviation Collection.
Drawing is always integral to my creative process…
