At Nameless Wonders live cheerful, colourful, off-the-wall animals to cover mobile phones and music players. As they're knitted, they can fit a wide range of sizes of object, but if a different size is required it can be made to the same designs. I also do commissions, which so far have included a crab and koala.

There are also brooches - mostly cats and rabbits, but the range is always being added to. They are one-offs, with each one's character developing as it is made.

Also at Nameless wonders are creatures inspired by the Japanese soft toys made from remnants of kimono fabrics. These are soft-sculptural and toy-like animals, mostly of hand-sewn fabrics with incorporated found and recycled materials such as plastics and wires. They are sometimes part painted or covered in plaster, or contain knitted elements. Each animal is made spontaneously, using outsize needles, often starting with a limb or ear, and is freely cut, stitched, stuffed and added to until the form is complete. The final form is never known until the last stitch is tied off.

Cats and rabbits are the most prevalent types of creature in the work, and the emphasis is usually on some aspect of their character rather than making a true-to-life representation of an animal.

Originally a ceramics maker, I was drawn to working in textiles and mixed media for the flexibility and variety of these materials and their potential to enable rapid completion of an idea, which is essential to the way I work.
