My practice explores transformation through textiles and reclaimed materials, creating immersive works that blur the boundaries between sculpture, installation, and decoration. Using discarded fabrics, plastics, and found objects, I am interested in how materials often dismissed as waste can be reworked into something visually charged and seductive.
I build densely layered surfaces that feel instinctive and excessive, where colour and texture compete for attention. The work shifts between attraction and discomfort. Its playful at first glance, yet carrying an underlying tension linked to consumption, value, and overproduction. I am drawn to the physicality of textiles and their ability to hold memory, labour, and emotion. By incorporating bold lines and repetitive pattern, I create spaces that viewers can experience both visually and physically.
The concept of transformation sits at the centre of my practice. Through altering and elevating discarded materials, I aim to challenge perceptions of what is considered valuable, while creating environments that feel immersive, vibrant, and alive.
