Filters 70% of UV rays and provides an almost invisible finish for an exceptional, reflection-free viewing experience.

Abstracted from their surroundings, mirrored tree branches

appear as tendrils, veins, blood vessels and pathways – an uncanny disconnection from the

tree in its known form.

The eerie branches hint at brain scans, underground mycelial roots and microscopic cellular

life.

Inside the Other is about becoming and being inside: activating a

questioning of one’s relationship with otherness. Ecological spaces are now ‘inside’ – close

to us, our interior, our home once again.

My practice is multi-disciplinary, working primarily in textile, photographic imagery, and

painting. I am interested in ideas of ecology, feminism, psychoanalysis, myth and personal

experience through interconnecting material and conceptual pathways.

By exploring the in-between, my work creates a subconscious experience of hidden forces

within ecological spaces; creating gothic parallel worlds with intimate yet known stories.
