textile explorations
Textile explorations, 2022-2024, as part of my PhD practice-led research. Photographs taken by Annelijn Hooij and Elizabeth Curtis Walker.
These textile explorations are the physical manifestation of my research into pluriversal fashion-textiles, exploring how relational, place-based, holistic and autonomous ontologies can guide us toward more regenerative ways of making and creating in the world.
The final accumulation of the textile explorations into a modular earth-cloth piece, one piece of leather material that lays flat upon the earth as an altar piece that can then be tied into a jacket. Photos by Macami.
These digital illustrations hold the energetic codes of my research, musings and integrations.
They are the visual manifestations of the worlds that I desire and am actively creating.
Physical making practice is an essential element of my work that allows concepts to be brought into being through the physical act of creating through the body.
All digital works are available as prints on canvas or paper. Please get in touch for sizes and prices.

Illustrations commissioned for the Fashion Ecologies research project by Dr Kate Fletcher at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, UAL.
The Fashion Ecologies project explores a new fashion culture grounded in localism. It sees how we dress as part of an integrated whole of
real-world relationships and interactions between land and community shaped by stewardship of nature, affection for place, diversity, social responsibility and fewer goods. Read more about the project here.
