I create research based, textile artwork that narrates hidden stories and memories, protecting and honouring them through stitch.

Exploring connection to identity, people, personality and changing personas my work uses deconstruction and reconstruction techniques to tell the quirky, often overlooked stories and facts, re-building pieces much as a story is told and retold.

Materials are central to my work; it is essential to me that they further the narrative and emotion behind the pieces. To that end, non-traditional textile materials are often selected including wood, metal and found items.

I also teach a range of workshops, both those I organise myself and on behalf of other organisations.

I am a Community Arts Practitioner, specialising in taking arts to those who do not normally access them.
