About
I am an interdisciplinary textiles practitioner and facilitator, with a specialism in woven textiles.
My work explores the interconnections between history, community and craft, and how political, economic and cultural circumstances affect the ways and reasons we create art.
I use woven textiles as a medium to communicate different historical narratives, taking inspiration from architecture, nature and urban form, all of which which, I feel, tell the story of a place’s history. The colours, shapes and patterns of my work derive from my own surroundings and working with people from various community groups allows me to incorporate various perspectives into my work, making it more inclusive.
