About

I weave cloth using the traditional Japanese technique of Ikat and floating warp using fine Japanese silk, British wool and linen, which I dye by hand with natural materials.

Creating shawls and wall hangings using the same skills inspired from kimono weaving. I am always thinking about how to make beautiful cloth by hand considering materials as an artwork. By using natural dyes and hand waving, mean that every piece I create has subtle variation in colour and pattern that ensure no two pieces are exactly the same.

I find inspiration in natural form, pattern and colour, through objects like pebbles, shells and bark that embody the landscape I inhabit, I study the way they are assembled and translate this into the language of the wrap and weft, their story becoming the vertical and horizontal interplay, creating a motif that is both simple to understand and complex in its endless variation.
