Together in Thread, 2025
The work in this series is about sharing: whether that is skills, stories or spaces, the work uses textile to highlight the dedication and creativity embedded within traditionally feminine domestic skills and spaces.
Underfoot, Overlooked, 2025. New Zealand wool and cashmillion acrylic tufting and hand punch needle on primary backing fabric.
Across the Table, 2025. Hand embroidery, beading, applique and freehand machine embroidery on cotton.
Together in Thread, 2025. Collaborative Patchwork. Hand embroidery, buttons, ribbon, fabric applique, paint pen and wool on cotton.
This work was created in collaboration with workshop participants over 6 standalone sessions. Each square is a personal reflection relating to the creator's relationship with or memories of textile. All materials were recycled or second-hand, drawing upon the histories of the materials and leaning into the idea of 'commoning' - sharing resources and bringing together a community.
Who Taught You to Sew? 2025. Wooden room divider with hand embroidery on fabric. Approx 5ft x 4ft
This work is another collaborative piece which invites an audience to reflect on their own sewing skills and memories of textile.
