"During my residency at Leipzig International Art Programme, I immersed myself in the landscapes of Saxon Switzerland National Park, spending time with its eroded sandstone formations and shifting terrain. I created a body of work exploring flux, erosion, and traces of time embedded in the landscape. Attuning to texture, weight, and density, I worked with pigment as it settles, fractures, and accumulates across the surface. Through layered gestures and suspended fields of colour, the work moves toward atmosphere rather than representation. It holds a tension between density and dissolution, where landscape becomes a shifting, unstable presence."

"My current work uses bra-making materials to reform and recontextualize the aesthetics of these textiles and their inherent assumptions. These materials are heavily associated with “unmentionables,” garments which are intimate and usually unseen, worn under more acceptable clothing. I am exploring an aesthetic of the tangible qualities of these substances: their stretch, their shine, their color, and the warping, molding, or other structure they reveal when combined in new ways. I create fabrics from elastics stitched together, and allow wires, boning, and channeling to dictate shapes for the textile around them, rather than to conform fabric to externally determined body shapes.”
