My artistic practice reinterprets old sewing traditions by delving into the rich history and symbolism of local textiles. I embrace the freedom of free sewing, letting each piece evolve organically as my concepts take shape through the act of making.
At the heart of my work is a desire to bring hidden inner truths to the surface, ideas shaped by introspection, guided by spirituality, and rooted in the quiet places where meaning begins.
I’m drawn to contrasts and bold, resonant ideas, gathering inspiration from many directions. These influences weave themselves into my work through a diverse palette of textures and textiles, most of them vintage pieces that already carry their own stories. Incorporating sustainable, pre‑worn fabrics is essential to my practice. I love how these materials become part of my sewn narratives, adding depth while also addressing the growing issue of textile waste in our society.
Every piece begins with a core concept, an essential idea I follow and then build upon. As I work, the textiles themselves often open new creative paths, offering unexpected inspiration and guiding the evolution of each artwork.
