Throughout my work, I try to understand the complexities
of interactions and use the setting of the home as a
grounding point for my practice. Using repetitive making
techniques to represent the monotony of daily tasks.
I am driven by my home rituals, daily tasks, and routines
that are often disregarded. I find that I am repeatedly
trying to find importance and meaning in the mundane. I
am interested in the patterns of the day-to-day, domestic
settings, and the casual interactions found between
bodies and objects. Using systematic approaches such as
photography and casting to create true representations of
the objects and utilising curation to create installations with these quiet works and provoke questions
rather than provide answers.
My practice continues to develop the more I note these
small moments and grow as I find new ways to articulate
the beauty in them.

As material,
they act as table runners or chair covers.
