Quilts
I make quilts that can be hung on a wall or draped around the body. Sitting between abstract art and functional design, my work questions the traditional notion that quilting and hand sewing belong only in domestic space.
In my practice, modernist influences are made softer: lines are wavy, grids are loose, geometry ripples. Collaging together cottons and linens I collect and repurpose, including picked-apart clothing, my quilts contain their materials’ histories, and through their laborious making, draw parallels with women’s often hidden labours.
