Through mending and extending the life of otherwise discarded fabric, my work focuses on transforming textiles through thoughtful and age-old processes of dyeing, sewing, and painting. As I work on a concept to imbue, each piece is an exploration of material sensitivity, preserving its memory and breathing new life into the fabric whilst narrating the story of mine.
