I have always been fascinated by the stories of places, of people and of things. My stitched work takes these influences and translates them into something tactile and deeply rooted in the memories and feelings they represent.
The words I stitch by hand are often my own. Poetic reflections of place, time and memory, written on to paper and then copied, by eye, using needle and thread. These words are layered onto cloth or vintage linen, often with its own story to tell.
Leaning into a hand dyed palette of dyestuffs and pigments collected from my surroundings, found household linens, my words, and the traditional quilting stitches I use, these all combine to allow me to create deeply meaningful heirloom pieces, imbued with personal stories. My work then becomes a conversation between the materials and processes I choose to work with, myself as the maker, and the stories I am entrusted with. Personal reflections, quietly told.
