My work is defined by intensive material transformation and a will to situate myself, and others, within the physical Earth and its interconnected systems. For 25 years, handweaving has grounded my practice, providing cultural context and methodology for structuring research and production. My selection of methods and materials is guided by their temporal qualities and centres embodied and relational ways of learning. I aim to foreground geologic time, the layered temporalities of the manmade, and how we, through the production, use, preservation and decay of objects, are interwoven with the natural world.
