Over the past four years I’ve developed a unique textile practice, generating printed and appliquéd motifs through the unlikely channels of performance and participatory workshops. Alongside exhibitions and commissions I produce Printed Stuffs from my studio in Glasgow. I’m committed to sustainable practice and print with solvent-free inks on linen and organic cotton.
