About
Born in Cornwall, My hand woven textiles tell tales of the hidden beauty of Cornwalls rugged landscapes and marine life. I am working to preserve heritage craft, embrace natural pigments and create work with meaning using sustainable practices and working in close connection with my surroundings. I have always had a deep love for my birthplace and it's became very clear that I love working with colour and texture. Through my woven work I hope to strike conversations and draw people closer to their environments and encourage people to see things in a different light.
Beneath the Surface / On which we roam
BENEATH THE SURFACE dives into the hidden beauty of Cornwalls vast marine ecology. Embracing NATURAL FIBRES, PIGMENTS and HERITAGE CRAFT it weaves the COLOURS, TEXTURES and FEELINGS of marine life together to create a striking nod to the often overlooked vibrance of whats beneath the surface. ON WHICH WE ROAM is a woven exploration of the ground beneath our feet; the soils of our future. A merging of EARTH, CLAY and YARN, its the drawing closer of our earthen roots and LOCAL ARTISAN CRAFT. This collection brings together the beauty of texture, natural pigment and sustainable practice into a wondrous collection of fabrics. Designed with the ancient history of Cornwall at its heart , a passion for our RUGGED LANDSCAPES, and the EARTH that brings them life. It sheds a light on the often overlooked beauty and importance of SOIL.
