Through meticulous manipulation of fibres, I explore the interplay of time, sentiment, and care. Often incorporating metal and timber as scaffolding, I elevate the woven cloth into sculptural forms. This approach is inspired by the rich history of weaving, which has both sustained societies through utilitarian constraints and evolved into a contemporary art form.

Weaving is a lifelong pursuit for me, offering endless possibilities for experimentation. I believe that the weaving process is a time for introspection through making. I tend to gravitate towards labour intensive methodologies and through this, I find that irregularities begin to mark each work, which highlight the making process and the care imbedded in the cloth. My personal experience with mental health informs my work, providing a therapeutic outlet and a desire to create spaces of visual respite for others. Through rhythm, colour, and texture, I aim to evoke a sense of calm and wonder, offering viewers a momentary escape into a world of aesthetic repose.

My work is an exploration of time's passage, seeking to capture the rhythms and cycles that shape our lives. Like the underlying structure of woven fabric, these patterns provide a conceptual framework for navigating life's journey. Through this process, I aim to create works that resonate with viewers, offering a shared contemplation of life's enduring patterns and the resilience of the human spirit.
