​Artists Statement
​
I have found my artistic identity using symbolism, cloth and thread. The ephemerality and cyclical nature of life is at the core of my textile practice. I use archetypal imagery to convey collective emotions, referencing the figurative, the mythological, nature, and the theme of transformation. Harvest, seeds and pomegranates represent both life force and loss. I like to explore the commonality between us and also the cultural collective memory. I use machine embroidery and print to tell personal and universal stories.
