Colour, and the intricate winding of silk thread, is at the core of my artwork. 

I am fascinated by our interior lives and aim to depict the space between feeling and understanding complex emotions through my images. 

Using the possibilities and restraints of winding thread, I endeavour to push the boundaries of what horizontal and vertical lines can form. The repetition and mathematical nature of the technique creates a sense of infinity and movement. My goal is to craft pieces that pulsate or evoke a sense of rhythm, encouraging the viewer to slow down and question their ideas.

The choice and interaction of colour establish the subject of each piece. This is the most explicit and meaningful aspect of my work. I begin by making a deliberate yet sensitive decision within a focused area and as the technique progresses the picture unfolds. It is a constant mixture of surprise and control.

The use of silk thread is vital to my practice as the sheen intensifies the hues and beckoning the light to dance across the surface, enhancing the tempo and texture it’s three-dimensional quality.

Ultimately, my work is an invitation to explore the subtle nuances of our emotional landscape, to appreciate the beauty in precision and chaos, and to connect with the quiet, yet powerful, language of colour and texture.

I studied Textiles at Chelsea College of Art, where I began to experiment with winding thread. I furthered my studies at The Glasgow School of Art, completing an MA in Fashion and Textiles in 2019. As part of my research, I continued to experiment with thread and pattern and was compelled to focus on textiles as an art form.
