February & March 2010, leaf with the word 'treasure' printed, empty match box with the word 'treasure' printed on containing miniature books made of advertisement paper
A leaf I picked up in Australia became my art work for February and an empty match box with miniature books inside for March.  Both of the works have the word ‘treasure’ printed on. Neither of them are ‘treasure’ in monetary terms but if you label them as such, then somehow they take on a special existence.

Small marks and images that appear in the layers of the glassine paper, which I am using extensively these days, are like little treasures that I plant and position deliberately. It is fun to think about who will spot these treasures amongst the layers of the translucent paper.

    About the artist

    I am a visual artist and maker currently based in Winchester, UK. My works look at ideas surrounding the definitions of home and with it the notions of belonging and displacement. The various cultural backdrops I have personally experienced together with the everyday situations and findings, particularly as a woman and mother, are some of the areas where I find inspirations for making my art work.
