Exploring visual elements I use everyday materials such as denim and shirts. Jeans, associated with durability and utility, take on a new life as shapes of an abstract design where fragments come together to form a coherent whole. Textiles are woven into our lives, are connected to us by shared experiences. Connection with fabric invites to reflect on the use of textiles in our own lives, to consider how even seemingly disparate parts can come together to create something harmonious and new.
