Working on a large scale, my pieces are primarily made through arm-knitting using hand-dyed unspun wool, constantly changing due to the material's interaction with the environment.
By occupying space, my pieces reclaim textiles as a potent means of artistic expression through their immediate mode of communication with and to the body. My practice reconnects with the body as a way of being in the world, seeing it as a useful tool in approaching the nonhuman.
The concept of what it means to be human, interacting with the "natural world", constantly emerges in my practice. I believe that humans are not outside of nature, and therefore cannot be seen as separate. I explore this notion through colour, challenging the concept of what it means to be truly natural by engaging with the dichotomies between natural and artificial through the exploration of natural and chemical dyes.
By reconnecting with the materiality of textiles and their power through my work, I aim to share more broadly the care for materials and surroundings, advocating for a new consciousness of care and intrinsic knowledge, only coming from working alongside silent nonhuman actors.
