I know, I know … the actual process of ‘sleying the reed’ isn’t as cool or sexy as it sounds, right??But it is what it is … basically, threading the warp threads through the reed to space them out evenly ;)I use a reed on my floor loom when I weave my scarves - but some fancy tapestry looms have reeds as well (not mine, mine are more basic!)OK, thanks for coming to my educational Ted talk, lol! :D

Are you lucky?I personally believe that you are what you say you are.So if you say ‘I’m never lucky’, you’re right.If you say ‘I’m so lucky’, you’re right.You get to choose.How you see yourself plays out in your life.I created these works as a talisman, sigil, reminder … you are who you say you are.I see so many people using negative words to be ‘cool’ - it’s not cool to use positive words ;)I don’t care - even if it’s cheesy and uncool, here I am.

‘Warp / Weft’ - 2022, hand woven tapestryAll fabric have these two things in common: warp, which are the vertical threads held under tension on the loom, and weft, which are the horizontal threads.In tapestry, the warp is not seen, as the weft threads are packed down very tightly - so in this tapestry, all you are seeing is the weft, although the warp is the ‘backbone’ of the whole piece.With my handwoven scarves, you can see both the warp and the weft, as both create the pattern.So even though tapestry and handweaving have a lot in common, they are...

Yes, here are the details for my solo TEXTural exhibition at Collective Haunt!I'm at the gallery every Saturday, so I will see you there :)
