This series of work started to come together during a period of transition in my own life. The making of each work felt deeply intuitive, allowing me to process the feelings, emotions and thoughts I was experiencing during this time. The words in each work are intimate and reflective, cumulative of all I had been digesting.
Each work is photographed in public spaces that are familiar to me, places where I hold memories of relationships and different periods of my life. Bringing the textile works into these spaces allowed these reflections to exist somewhere that held a personal connection, while still sitting outside of my interiority, which felt very cathartic.
