I am an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator working across sculptural object-making, costume for screen, and community-focused learning. My practice draws on natural and reclaimed materials, such as foraged fibres, plant processes, clay, cloth, hair, found components, and on traditional craft lineages that I study, adapt, and recontextualise. I am interested in material behaviour, slow transformation, and how binding, rigidity, erosion, or decay can echo emotional states, memory, and myth. I aim for work that holds tension between tenderness and restraint, presence and absence.I hold a Master’s degree in Textiles and a PGCE Secondary in Design and Technology, textile specialism. My professional background includes supervising and supporting costume departments on fast-paced productions, running an independent sewing school, lecturing at BA level, and building a studio practice that privileges process, experimentation, and care. I am motivated by folklore, embodied knowledge, and heritage craft, and by teaching methods that invite autonomy and confidence rather than dependency. Across studio, set, and classroom, I prioritise ethical material decisions where possible, collaborative problem-solving, and emotionally attentive working cultures. I value rigorous thinking alongside intuitive making, and I see sharing skills as part of the same continuum as developing the work itself: a reciprocal flow that sustains both practice and community.
