In a fast-paced world where we are all constantly on the go, with barely enough time to stop and think, we overlook things, miss things and things go unnoticed. It is now more important than ever to give ourselves spaces to pause and time to breathe.
My work invites us all to do this, by focusing on the minute details and encouraging people to examine the things which often go overlooked. I approach the moment of pause through working with textile - a material which is ingrained within our society yet is so taken for granted. I apply theories of femininity and materiality to question its low status and aim to elevate it by changing the context of which it exists.
I focus on the structures of textile and present them in ways that give them space to breathe. My works exist as large-scale textile pieces, explorative ceramic objects and also as detailed drawings, all created as an exploration of repetitive action. My works converse with each other and exist as a body, one that invites people to pause and reflect, taking time to slow down and exist.
