As a Textile Artist & Researcher I connect people to the present moment, and each other, through materials. I do this through physically interactive artworks. Using a playful
​aesthetic, my work is immediate and accessible. In Summer 2018 I am graduating from The University of Gothenburg with an MFA in Applied Arts, specialising in Textiles.

Equally interested in people and materials, collaboration is at the core of what I do. I often handcraft works alongside other practitioners and venues.  My practice particularly focuses on creating inclusive spaces for excluded audiences. 
​
To date my individual and collaborative work has involved The National Trust, BBC, Pop-Up Parks, The Museum Of Science & Industry, Queen Street Mill, Manchester Craft & Design Centre, Macclesfield Silk Museum, Free For Arts Festival, FutureEverything and more.


 Upcoming Exhibitions and Workshops: 
'Bodybuilders Workshop',  Walthamstow Garden Party, London, July 2018
​'Scen:se Commission', Hälsinglands Museum, Sweden, Sep-Dec 2018
