(embossed cotton paper, pigment, ink)
My practice lies at the intersection between textual and textile, broadly concerned with themes of reciprocity, the exchange and interrelationship of beings and materials within both an experiential, ecological and a mythological framework. My primary focus tends to be the site of the page, I make both pages and poems which encourages me to be constantly and simultaneously aware of the process of each and their interaction with each other. I am interested in explorations of intimacy in relation to the meeting and touch of surfaces. Invisibility, impermanence, illegibility, radical tenderness and the illogical are often reoccurring themes and improvisation is also key.
