“Through the lens of textiles, my practice explores how our domestic lives and our connection to the natural world intertwine to permeate our subconscious mind. Using photographs that originate from my own domestic space, or from my encounters with that of others’, these works sit somewhere between the figurative and abstract, documenting the moment where recollection fades into memory.”
