Archive

The below archive shows bodies of work that sit outside the current core focus of my practice but remain conceptually connected and have often informed more recent works.

THE BATHERS

This intermittent, ongoing series explores notions of display and how we reveal ourselves through form and balance felt through the body.

TEXT WORK

What began as blunt personal confessions in late 2019 shifted over time into social psychology — group behaviour, polarisation, and the voices we share, holding up a mirror to collective thought and acting as both a critique and a rallying cry.

FIGURATIVE WORK

Figurative work began appearing alongside text in exhibitions from 2021, as I became increasingly concerned about society's polarisation. My research led me into fields of religion and deeper into social psychology.

'QUILT' SERIES EVOLUTION

An evolution of the 'quilt' series incorporating chance and traditional patchwork elements. This period includes the first application of my art in a functional space, designing a Miami collector's basketball court, and the application of a working QR code in a conceptual work developed with the 'True Selves' project.

'QUILT' SERIES

Taking a basic textile quilt composition as inspiration, I explore the push and pull and subjectivity of colour.

EARLY ABSTRACTIONS ( - 2019)

An exploration of pure colour and forms as artworks move from textile to painted medium.

WOVEN TEXTILE WORKS

Having originally studied, and having worked in, the contemporary arts in the early 2000s, I rediscovered my artistic practice through weaving in 2015.
