My interest in how people act in groups is explored in my Order series ; The Queue, Order, Holy Order, Law in Order. In each I have been aware of the comfort , the pride, the strength in numbers while not forgetting the right of the individual to change his or her mind. This body of work has been inspired by people. Their interaction, bonding, working together, sometimes to such an extent that they lose their individuality, that very individuality which moved them to become part of the group. 

As a teacher of young children for many years I was very familiar with the importance of play.  People often bemoan the loss of children's games of the past. I have portrayed some of these in Ring a'rosies,Hopskotch, swinging round the lamppost,skipping etc.
