Independent practice · Ongoing archive

Works moving between image, textile, sound & handcraft.

An independent practice shaped by encounters, collaboration and time.

Image · Observation · Practice

A place. An image. A material life.

Careful looking gives ordinary things a different weight. A courtyard, a gesture, a worn surface: an encounter is held before it is explained.

Notes on the practice

How a work gathers form.

The studio supports the encounter, wherever it leads.

An encounter

A place, a photograph, a moment held.

A material translation

Cloth, thread, silver or pearl. Time given by hand.

An artist dialogue

Sound or movement, when the encounter calls for it.

Work / ongoing record

A singular work

Its own form. Its own rhythm.

Worn, displayed, lived with.
An image may become cloth. A woven surface may begin the work. Sound and movement can enter along the way.

Craft records

The record stays with the work.

Work records bring together images, material details and the history of making. Public records sit alongside fuller records shared privately with collectors.

Circle · Continuing lives

Beyond the making.

Circle takes the world itself as a living gallery. Handcraft meets sound and movement, bringing maker, wearer and place into dialogue. As works travel, the histories they carry find new expression and continue through lived encounters.
