About



Artist statementI am a visual artist working across mediums. I create from a place of playfulness, curiosity and intuition, responding to the work as it evolves. I gravitate towards slow, handmade practices like weaving and stitching. The repetitive movements and tactile nature help me self regulate, giving me space to contemplate what’s happening in my life and the world around me.

I work mostly with secondhand materials, which I collect from my community and my travels. Each material comes with a back story that adds richness to the work, and I feel pride in being able to continue that story.

I often work with clashing colours, striking patterns, and differing textures, determined to find balance and create harmony. Every resolution gives me a sense of hope and optimism, symbolising action towards a better world ahead.
