Silk Printmaking
Art works in natural pigments exploring perception, reversal, and clarity.
Guided by the screen printing 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.
“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.”

-
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.
