My practice weaves seamlessly across textiles, dance, and film, all of which gesture to the rhythms of nature and the passage of time. Through transformative processes of dyeing with natural colours, draping, and pleating, I create immersive moments of reflection, connection, and contemplation. I believe that by reorienting ourselves to the sensory tapestry of the world, we can forge deeper connections with both our inner selves and the more-than-human world that surrounds us.
Collaborating with fellow artists from multiple disciplines, I aspire to kindle a reverence for nature and foster an enduring harmony with the land. Growing up amidst the wild beauty of Dartmoor, I immersed myself in the world of outdoor dance and drama, where community performances drew inspiration from the myths and landscapes of this remote moorland. Dancing and wandering through the craggy tors, soft mossy peat, and the ever-changing weather, I forged a deep-rooted connection to the land's beauty and power.
The interplay between the land and the body has remained a constant fascination in my artistic journey, explored through materiality, plant-based hues, and the poetry of performance. My work also involves running workshops, participating in artist residencies, and traveling for inspiration, enriching my practice through diverse experiences and perspectives. These activities deepen my engagement with different cultures and environments, informing my creative process.
