About the artist
I am a Western Australian textile artist working with embodied making practices.
My work begins in the body and unfolds through movement, repetition, and sustained attention. Cloth is approached as a responsive field — shaped by weight, rhythm, stain, gravity, and time. Rather than working toward a predetermined image, I remain with process, allowing material to guide the direction of each piece.
Working primarily with silk and other natural fibres, I use plant dyes and sustainable pigments applied through layering, immersion, and hand-painting. Colour arrives slowly. It gathers through return, pause, and responsiveness. Each work carries the trace of gesture and the subtle record of lived movement.
Over more than a decade of independent practice, my work has evolved from handmade garment and textile design into a broader contemporary textile language that moves between wearable pieces and spatial Field Cloth installations. These works explore presence, impermanence, and the relationship between body, material, and environment.
My practice is shaped by lived experience and everyday rhythms, and informed by somatic awareness and meditative inquiry. Making becomes a way of listening — a method of staying with what is already here.
I live and work in the Fremantle region of Western Australia.
