Are you certain that what you see corresponds to how it feels? My questions pursue this contrast of sight and tactility by creating surprising tactile experiences, discovering people's expectations of materiality, and seeking ways to reflect the true material feel, craftsmanship, and connection. Acknowledging the strong connection with the sense of touch, I carefully consider the weight, colour and feel of materials, focusing on the transformation of the idea of uncertainty. With the aim to give the viewer a form of irrational juxtaposition inspired by surrealism, surprising tactile interaction and gaps of inquiry are captured in the use of colour, texture and pattern.

    Specialism

    weave

  • I am a textile designer specialising in woven textiles. I currently work with multiple materials and aim to create a sense of tactile woven fabrics. I am inspired by the textures and materials of everyday objects. My works highlight the possibilities of different material combinations and the interpretations of the quality of touch.
