Silk Printmaking

Works in natural pigments exploring perception, reversal, and clarity.

View works

Guided by the process of reversal, where meaning appears through reflection. Rooted in a practice that slows perception, each work holds tension until clarity resolves —offering considered works shaped by time and precision.

  • Holding contradiction until clarity emerges.

  • Work for those open to slowing down and attending to perception, creating space where tension resolves into coherence.

  • Deliberate Slowness: Prioritising intentional pace and sustained attention over instant results.

    Material Intelligence: Treating fibre and pigment as active partners in a living conversation.

    Thresholds of Uncertainty: Using the unknown as a vital tool for new ways of seeing.

    Navigating Frictions: Activating the space between opposites to find a coherence.

    Honest Unfoldment: Prioritising natural rhythm and resistance over forced perfection.

    Presence Over Resolution: Finding coherence in the ‘now’ than seeking a final, static solution.

    The Aligned Response: Resonance between internal intuition with the physical material presence

    Dissolving Boundaries: Inviting the observer to soften between a spectator and an active participant.

    The Unfolding Unknown: Staying present within the natural creative process.

  • Natural Dye

    Hands-on research in Japan, Peru, and India inform the development of natural pigments. Worked with to reflect memory, patience, and natural processes.

  • Texture, Tactility & Layering

    In the screen-printing process, tensions between screen and fabric emerge as silk, paper, and pigment register pressure, repetition, and resistance, with each interaction generating friction that accumulates as textural memory.

  • Dualities

    Threshold between control and intuition, movement and isolation, and surface and depth are activated and held in suspension to invite perceptual awareness, rather than interpretation.

  • Historical Textile Tradition

    Honouring textiles as living knowledge, their material intelligence is engaged with care in the present, where fibre, stain, and touch carry memory, meaning, and perceptual resonance.

“My work explores the limits of language through processes of reversal. As a child, I wrote backwards—writing that was only readable in the reflection of a mirror—which shaped how I perceive and translate meaning.

I use printmaking on textiles as a natural extension of this logic: as its process is structured in reversal. Through it, I slow perception and create space for deliberate uncertainty, treating disorientation not as a flaw, but as a threshold for new understanding.”
