Artist Statement

I draw on the visual vocabulary of historic quilt block patterns, developing each work through an improvisational process that merges traditional craft with contemporary design. Working primarily with cotton and linen, I explore saturated colour, subtle tonal shifts, and layered textures to create compositions that invite touch and contemplation.

I began quilting during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when the quilt’s ability to wrap and protect the body took on renewed meaning. That experience continues to shape my exploration of the quilt as both a functional art object and a vessel of care, intimacy, and cultural memory. As a queer artist, I situate my practice within feminist and queer craft traditions, considering how material processes can hold and transmit embodied histories.
