Bridget’s artworks combine delicate making with the down-to-earth approach to nature of an allotment gardener. From millinery and textiles to fly-tying, techniques and materials cross pollinate as they grow from the ‘creative compost’ of her making career. Intriguing parallels appear between making and evolution in nature. Recent exhibitions include Collect Art Fair and Jaggedart.
