About Me
I am an emerging textile artist who is exploring the use of textiles as a tool to create community and viewer engagement. Recent work has included creation of an interactive installation consisting of 24 appliqued, embroidered, and beaded flower images adapted from a traditional quilting block format and based on Victorian and Japanese hanakotoba floral coding systems presented in the form of eight flower language puzzles for viewers to solve. In addition creating fine craft that can serve as a game and educational tool my practice also involves the incorporation of feminist themes. I have also developed a series of community workshops designed to set up a co-creation process in which people can share specific experiences related to trauma or other life-changing events. I am also exploring the intersection of textiles and painting and design knitwear.
