Welcome
"Textiles is an integral part of the human experience, transcending the boundaries of time and culture, providing both comfort and warmth. As an artist, my exploration delves into the delicate balance between protection and embracing the vulnerability in our lives. Drawing inspiration from my memories of childhood, and a sense of place, I immerse myself in the nostalgia of these formative years, to capture the delicate interplay of memories with a sense of belonging.
Using a diverse range of techniques such as screen printing, machine embroidery, reverse appliqué, and hand stitching, I weave together the essence of home, a sense of place, with personal experiences and a touch of emotion. I hope to connect with viewers on a visceral level, touching upon the essence of our shared humanity.
