Lungs and Secret Woods
The artist writes: ‘My new textile series, Accretions (2026), is created from tapestry remnants of my Jacquard ‘Artist Proofs’. These imperfect, discarded tapestries of my original drawings, analogue cyanotypes, and instant film photographs, contain sections of intrigue and beauty. They are metaphors for the fragmented or flawed self. When re-appropriated and reassembled, their brokenness is released: New life and complexity is discovered. I hand-paint forms into this new woven amalgam; imprinting—we are here. Accretions grapples with our precarious and fragile relationship to the natural world: Fusing the known with the unknown, confounding what is real or imagined, and realizing the mystical other.’
