Article:

My studio practice is a conversation on empathy and resilience. The process converges science and art to develop textile pieces. Each piece pulls us to a safe space to question and connect with others. I am very involved with wool fibre as its limitless possibilities in both surface design and function invite both scientific approaches and rich artistic expressions to the playground of imagination. In fact, my curiosity and energy often needs to be curbed rather than inspired when it comes to wearable technology embodied into the arguably oldest textile craft- felt. My textile sculptures of microorganisms – viruses, germs and reproductive cells – present complex technical challenges and prompt conversations with wide and varied folk. As a professional artist and educator, I aim to develop a rapport with each other and empower us to embrace who we are.
