My textile practice evolves around the balance between digital and analogue working methods while drawing inspiration from Central/Eastern European rural material culture and folklore.
Working between archives and digital cloth-making, my practice considers the future and the personalisation of folklore through the lens of a migrant.
Interrogating the technical aspects of design-making is essential to leading a sustainable practice. Predominantly, I utilise deadstock yarns that are either bought locally or donated.
When I encounter limitations with my materials, I use various structures and yarn combinations to achieve a specific colour tone.
This sustainable approach is essential to me and provides a gentle critique of the yarns discarded from the UK textile industry.
