She/Her
My Great Grandma is a significant source of inspiration in my practice. The garments she has made have been passed down through generations, carrying her memory, love and labour within them. These inherited garments act as physical connections to my family history, bridging both generational and cultural distance between us.
To me, the idea of patchwork and repair acts as a metaphor for identity itself, something assembled from fragments, stories, and experiences, stitched together over time. Like family, identity is rarely seamless; it is shaped by connection and disconnection, preservation and change. Through my practice, I reflect on these relationships, exploring how making and mending can become a way of understanding where I come from, and how these inherited histories continue to shape who I am.
