return

My practice moves between painting, textile, and sculpture, shaped by processes of repetition, translation, and slow transformation. I often begin from drawing or painting, allowing images to circulate between analogue and digital states before they are translated into yarn. Through this movement, surfaces gain weight, density, and a bodily presence.

I work through accumulation rather than resolution. Repetition becomes a way of staying with something—testing its limits, allowing small shifts to occur. Variations in material, pile height, and rhythm introduce discontinuities that carry the work forward, creating a sense of motion without narrative.

Materiality is central to my practice. I am interested in moments where an image hovers between states—finished and unfinished, surface and object, control and release. The works often approach a stillness that feels temporary, as if something is learned just before it slips away.

I think of this process as embodied: a way of thinking through the hands, where time, attention, and touch are allowed to remain visible.
