My textile practice unfolds through a range of sculptures, woven works, and collective performances, engaging with notions of care ethics, reciprocity, and eco-queer feminism. Etymologically, the word textile comes from text and narrative. I therefore conceive of textiles and weaving as a way of gathering and writing stories, but also as a new form of dialogue.
Working in collaboration with other human and non-human bodies (trees, wind, water…), I seek to connect our bodies and to explore the notions of physical empathy and reciprocity, in an effort to invent new ways of listening, communicating, and translating the stories that surround us. I work with places, rivers, and people I have only just met or have loved for a long time, and I try to listen and attune myself to their voices through the stitches and movements of the textiles.
Connection lies at the center of everything and is conceived as the heart of care. This work upholds the idea that it is also through connection, listening, and community that our world can be healed.
