My practice is rooted in the transformative potential of weaving. 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. 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.
