My prints tended to be more autobiographical and less confrontational than my sculptures but I continued to use my work to explore frustrations and aspirations. 

 I didn’t deal explicitly with my multiple sclerosis in my printmaking, and have always aimed for my work to be relevant and sympathetic to a wide and varied audience often intending a deliberate ambiguity and different ways in which the work can be read.  However, the figures in my prints are most often not firmly rooted to the ground, mermaids, angels or flying figures inhabit a separate, or secret,  ‘other’ world where both  physical and emotional constraints  begin to disappear.

Whispering

‘Whispering’ 1992, is an early colograph and a development from  the ‘Fishwives’ sculpture with two strong female figures, now mermaids, and the idea of conspiratorial meetings, the ambiguity of whether they are just meeting to gossip or is something more sinister going on?
