The artist states:
"I read in a book a Burmese legend about the soul butterfly or win-laik-pya...it is believed that a sleeping person's soul takes the shape of a butterfly and flies abroad while its owner is asleep, searching for the souls of other persons and animals and returning when the owner awakes. Burmese children are still taught never to wake a sleeping person for fear they may die, or worse, live on, without a soul."

''My artwork is mainly centred on the theme of domestic space, the places where people live and what they surround themselves with. I use wire to create sculptures, collage and installations. Wire can function as three dimensional line drawings in space and has the ability to capture shapes and angles that enable me to create environments that are both fantastical and whimsical. I like to explore the notion of other worlds that evoke nostalgia, memory and a sense of wonder. I often use Victorian and Edwardian imagery as inspiration. ''
