Dorcas explores themes of dreams and the unconscious. She works intuitively to transform familiar, domestic materials and unusual found objects into her sculptures, favouring craft-based techniques like hand stitching. She likes the idea of discarded and marginal things returning as powerful presences and attempts to capture the ambiguous nature of dream images by creating sculptures which are poised awkwardly between the realms of the familiar and the uncanny.
