TextileArtist interview: exploring cloth, repair and process
I’m grateful to TextileArtist for continuing to share my practice and for revisiting my artist interview.
The conversation explores my ongoing relationship with cloth, repair and the slow, considered processes that sit at the heart of my work. We discuss my use of salvaged textiles, the histories held within worn materials, and the ways repair can become an act of care, resistance and transformation.
It’s a pleasure to see this interview shared again and to have the opportunity to reflect on the ideas that continue to shape my practice.
