My multidisciplinary practice slips between cultures and is influenced both by my Andean background and my life in the U.K. For the past nine months I have used my studio as a laboratory exploring a whole fleece. The fleece is a gift from a family farm in Cornwall. The family have been close friends for over forty years. Cornwall is where I lived when I first arrived in the U.K. in the 1970’s. It is a place that I have grown to love, retuning to stay there several times a year. I was able to choose the sheep, watch the shearing and share stories about the rituals and routines of the shearing day on a traditional Cornish farm. During my time in the studio I have gardened with the fleece, picked the fleece, washed, carded, dried it and spun the wool. My studio practice has moved my engagement beyond using the fleece as product to viewing the fleece as a material that slowly reveals itself. This ties in with my broader practice which includes many voices, presenting a world view through the indigenous language of Quechua that is relational and complex.
