I was raised by hippy parents. My dad named me Kavel; more than likely he picked the name up whilst travelling in India in the late 60s. I have lived all over; including Stockholm and Barcelona. I live in the sea-side town of Margate UK. I came out as a lesbian late in life, at the age of 43. This has been so liberating for me; it has definitely been a catalyst for stronger and more confident work. I’m happy and comfortable in myself now, as an out queer woman. I am a multi-disciplinary artist, working in collage and assemblage art. In my work I examine the possibilities available when using found materials. There is value and beauty in this discarded stuff, and a frugal and relevant way of working in a time of waste. I mix abstract shapes, redact, edit and censor the images and text to create new narratives.
