" Curtain material, with its florid, colourful forms, gives me an idealised version of
nature, organised and controlled by the hand of the fabric designer. It reflects
comfortable domestic life and, in particular, the traditional woman's
role as
home maker and is an extension of my interest in botanical subject matter,
particularly historic herbals and illustrations of gardening techniques."
