Artist’s Statement:

“I aim to capture a sense of the people, places, and things around me. Through hand-stitching and layering, I transform their simplest lines and forms into textural pieces that are semi abstract and reductive in nature.

My recent work has focused on using leftover scraps of fabric and thread. This is in part a response to my desire to live a lower impact life, but also brings another dimension to the pieces as I work within the constraints of the materials I have to hand.

All my pieces are hand-stitched, borrowing from traditional embroidery and kantha techniques. Recent works also include collaged elements and hand-painted fabrics which have injected more colour and brought a looser expressive style.”
