Jo Heron

Artist Statement

Through gathering, collecting and working with natural and discarded materials I explore connections between cycles-those within the natural world; and those often given deeper cultural significance, within human life.

Using techniques such as eco printing, stitch, natural dyeing and print I explore relationships of texture, structural form and negative space.
