With background in painting, I use thread as a painterly medium, stitching into hessian fabric to create meticulous, large-scale hand embroidery in wax and cotton thread. Through vivid tones of blue, turquoise, red and orange, my work draws attention to presence and perception.

I look at the world through a magnified lens, gathering fragments that gradually assemble and brings me closer to a larger whole. Threaded micro-environments unfold across shaped fabrics, carrying a visual language of afterthoughts. Self-collected plant remnants, traces of patterns observed in nature, bright underwater organisms and by-passing landscapes mixed with imagination become fragments of quiet information, telling stories of wonder and the hidden connections I seek to understand.

An ongoing study of the phenomenology of appearance guides my work, shifting viewpoints within our relationship to nature, seasonal change, and the anatomical world we inhabit. At its core, is an awareness of how we individually experience our surroundings, attending to the smallest details and unseen processes, inviting a deeper sense of their transient nature, systems, symbolism and meanings that shape the universe.
