My work explores intergenerational transmission – that is the passing down of memory and experience, particularly through the matrilineal line.

The root of my practice lies in working with reclaimed fabrics and embroidery; those that already have a story assigned to them, with which I can build on. Many of these inherited fabrics come from my own family home, and through my embroidery I continue these stories further, shifting the narratives into the present day.

It is not only the fabric that is inherited, but also the stories, behaviours and a way of being. I often look inward at my own family, with my work shaped by my own experiences and maternal family history. The act of stitching – the care, repetition and emotion – works as both a mode of preservation and transmission, echoing the cycle of unspoken expectations placed on women in the family.

I aim to build a sense of domestic familiarity, fractured by unease and constraint. The soft, materials and intimate themes forge a tenderness that is disrupted by the weight of inherited obligations and attempts to break free.
