About
I am a textile artist and designer working with woven textiles. Walking and a connection to place form the narrative behind my work. I enjoy the parallels between walking and weaving; how the slowness and movement of walking are echoed in the repetition and rhythms of the weaving process making each a mindful and meditative practice. Walking in the beautiful Norfolk landscape, I gather plants for natural dye and make drawings in response to the textures and patterns within the landscape. These colours and drawings combine with experimental play with found materials to inform my woven work.
Conscious of the volume of waste sent to landfill each year and the need to value our natural resources, I explore responsible textiles and circular design. I work with only natural materials, often those that are locally found or re-purposed from other design processes. From the outset of each project, I consider the life cycle of materials to create work that can be reclaimed or will biodegrade so no waste is left behind.
