Criticism and Curation
“My curatorial practice centres around themes of self-making, knowledge sharing and communication within textiles. Most recently during my undergraduate thesis, I focused on the language and processes within textiles through feminist and gender theories of undoing and unbecoming. My personal, craft-base practice is mainly orientated around sustainability and is heavily influenced by the growing DIY-culture. As a result, I am well acquainted with a variety of textiles methods such as crocheting, knitting, weaving, spinning, felting, embroidery, sewing and papermaking. In my practice, traditional research and hands-on learning work in tandem to create a richer personal understanding.”
