“I put one colour against the other in a way that is satisfying or dynamic,” she says. “It’s purely visual and non-intellectual. If there is a deeper meaning, I like to think that is brought by the viewer: I don’t like to limit their experience by giving a sculpture a set explanation or description. Sometimes I know what is going on in my head, but more often I let my hands do the ‘thinking’. That doesn’t mean it’s easy – far from it because it takes a long time to consider the exact colours. Some might watch my activity and indecision and quite honestly think it’s the total obsessiveness of a mad person. “
