Remains (2022)
Textile sculpture. Textile and thread.Once used for practice or experimentation, a large quantity of discarded fabric was collected and carefully unpicked by hand, thread by thread, over several days. Every element, including fabric scraps, yarn, and thread, was preserved with the intention of potential reuse. This circular process of gathering, unpicking, and sorting continued for several months, eventually resulting in grouped thread remnants and canvas-like material repurposed for a new work titled Skin.
Skin (2022)
Textile.
Reassembling the textile fragments in their original cuts became a puzzle-like process. Stitch punctures left behind on the fabric resembled scars, inspiring the work’s name. When sewn together, the patched pieces formed unique textures, later integrated into the inner structure of the Cave installation.
Bodies (2022-2023)
Textile sculptures.Fascinated by the material layers within the studio wall used for Cave, fabric pieces were joined so only their right sides were visible. The inner sides remained hidden, allowing the finished forms to be exhibited from either direction. One of these bodies, created for the "Doing Together" event at Bath Spa University (2023), was displayed in the corner of a glass structure. Its writing, translated into a stitched line, references previous explorations of handwriting as a personal, conventional form of mark-making by hand.
In this piece, the artist's hair — collected over several months — was used instead of thread. Using hair as a stitch deepens the connection between identity, physical presence, and language. Unlike typed script, handwritten text conveys individual characters, bringing the artist's presence closer to the viewer.
