Life is fragile; it is dependent on separate elements working together forming a strong and robust unity.
This is the essence of the Borromean Ring, a mathematical structure representing both the strength and fragility of unity. The three rings are not interlinked, if one breaks the structure fails. Borromean Bones represents the structural integrity of life.
The whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Jo Simpson
As an intuitive artist, seeking new ways to express creative ideas, I explore different substrates and materials, applying subtle modifications to processes or creatively blending processes, to find new ways of expressing shape, form and texture. My current art practice embraces felting, weaving and embroidery.
I take much of my inspiration from the scientific and natural world, in particular the Australian bush, landscape and environment.
My artwork often explores the connections between people and place and is charged with expressive energy representing a unique and distinctive portrayal and celebration of the living spirit.
