I am a contemporary textile artist whose practice explores the relationship between material, emotion and adaptation. Working primarily with wool through processes of knitting, knotting, binding, stitching and construction, I create sculptural textile forms that investigate the ways people respond to experiences that challenge their sense of stability, identity and belonging.
My work is deeply informed by the repetitive nature of making. Through accumulation, labour and sustained engagement with materials, I explore how physical processes can become vehicles for reflection, endurance and transformation. Many of the forms that emerge in my practice begin intuitively, revealing their meaning only over time. As a result, making often functions as a form of inquiry—allowing ideas, emotions and experiences to take shape before they can be fully understood in language.
While the work frequently draws upon personal experience, it is not concerned with autobiography alone. Instead, I use material processes to investigate broader questions about care, resilience, vulnerability, connection and repair. The resulting forms occupy a space between abstraction and embodiment, suggesting emotional states, relationships and psychological landscapes without prescribing a singular interpretation.
At the centre of my practice is a belief in the capacity of making to hold complexity. Through textile processes that are both physically demanding and deeply repetitive, I seek to create works that acknowledge contradiction, endurance and the ongoing nature of adaptation. Rather than offering resolution, the work invites contemplation of the ways people continue to carry, rebuild and respond to the challenges that shape their lives.
