Sewing series  






Lay with me, 2022, paper, thread, organza, calico, 52 x 76cm



The tearing of the figures reveals the concept that one has to be broken down in order to be built back up.







Emergent, 2022, paper, thread, organza, calico, 370 x 70cm



These pieces highlight multiple ideas surrounding intimacy. The process of stitch communicates the trace of a body, a building of a moment, and captures the tension found between these elements.




Untitled, 2021, paper, thread, organza, calico, 16 x 24cm

Untitles, 2021, paper, thread, organza, calico, 17 x 22cm



They encourage desire and touch through their surfaces and ultimately disrupt the physical distance between the artwork and the audience, which in itself creates another level of intimacy.
