quiet. tactile. considered.
origin
everything starts with a memory.
my practice began in july 2025, in honour of my mother, who made my life as a full-time artist possible
my mother’s experience of the second world war fostered a deep respect for what she had and what was available, an understanding of how to make do and an unwavering unwillingness to waste
throughout my life, she passed these values on to me, alongside appreciation for imperfection and
recognition of worth and salvageability in everything
this ethos has become the backbone of how i live, extending far beyond my practice
— this is where the work begins.
the work
every piece begins long before the making.
i have always believed that material should not be discarded simply because its original purpose has ended. carefully selected pieces of linen, cotton and remnants of paper, thread and yarn are salvaged from earlier works and everyday textiles and accumulated over weeks, sometimes months
my work is born from a long-held commitment to considered reuse — an intentional process that relies on patience and discipline
— devotion in practice.
resonance
some stories should remain silent.
the narrative behind each piece remains untold, leaving each open to interpretation.
i will not tell someone how the work should be seen, what it should evoke or how it should make them feel.
i hope something within each piece — a texture, tone or atmosphere — feels familiar, stirs a memory
or resonates with something held quietly within the viewer. that association need not resemble my own
— it belongs to whoever finds it.
connection
some conversations begin with a work that lingers.
