MA work

The golden age of Hollywood is at the root of this collection, which explores the desire to be feminine, expressive, open and powerful; to give permanence to femininity and establish a solid, non-gendered, physical base for it.

    Specialism

    weave

  • My approach to woven textiles is to create pieces that inspire and allude to the non-binary ultra-femme. I make textiles that consist of both humour and play, being over-the-top and exaggerative whilst having a root in traditional techniques and materials.
