ABOUT
My practice explores the relationships between people, nature, and ritual through tactile, process-based mediums such as printmaking, collage, and embroidery. Rooted in slowness and repetition, my work often takes the form of collaborative projects developed through communal making. In these works, individual expressions are gathered and transformed into collective pieces. I view these activities as participatory rituals, which allow those involved to reflect on how we connect with each other, how naratives may become layered and evolve together.
The work I create alone explores how ritual may look in a contemporary, fragmented world. I’m drawn to the quiet repetition of handwork, where making becomes a way to reflect, remember and connect.
