Maker's statement
Between September 1981 and April 1982 my work began to fall into two categories: those pieces which I made with the intention that they should be worn I defined as 'wearables'; the parallel group of work takes the use as the subject of the work and has recently developed as sculpture.
The Wearables have always been exhibited alongside photographs of them being worn, taken specifically for this purpose by David Ward.
