Jo Heron

Artist Statement

Through gathering, collecting and working with natural 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 stitch, collage, eco dying and eco printing I explore relationships of colour, texture, structural form and negative space.
