About me

I use simple processes to subvert expectations, turning basic, found materials into heavily crafted sculptural forms. Working responsively with my environment, I aim to draw attention and play with the material conditions of the everyday. 

I make layered and stitched 2D and 3D work from recycled textiles   smaller works are almost charmingly domestic; other abstracted pieces are more sinister.
Food packaging and Amazon cardboard become tessellated chains that can be distorted and stitched into repetitive  forms. Foraged natural materials are stripped and twisted, plaited and woven and sometimes left, for others to wonder at.

Interested in folk culture, costume, narrative, and making traditions, I enjoy the slow and the painstaking repetitive gestures of craft processes. I want people to experience my
work as something that is both familiar, but without the actual weight of heritage.

Textile works have been shown at the Festival of Quilts 2017, 2021 and my piece, The Boy & the Girl was shortlisted for the 2019 Vlieseline Fine Art Textiles Award and shown at Birmingham, London and Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Shows 2019. 

My cardboard piece Networks & Entanglements was shown at Undoings: an exploration of Making and Unmaking, Sussex Contemporary, Newhaven in July 2025.

I like collaborating and working with people and my work sometimes takes the form of socially engaged experiences to provoke curiosity and conversation.

Alongside my personal practice, I devise and deliver all manner of arts, heritage and engagement projects and events with partner organisations and communities.
