"My practice lies at the intersection between textual and textile, exploring and experimenting with the concept of the page and its relation to an embodied sense of language. I make both pages and poems and this encourages me to be constantly and simultaneously aware of the process of each and their interaction with the other.

I am interested in the materiality of paper as a means to explore the experiential, physicality of communication. It allows me a site on which to give my experience of thought, emotion and sensation lived in language a more accurate representation, one that is multisided and multidimensional. The interplay between a body of text and the text as body is in constant question and is informed by my practice in somatic and movement meditation maps.

My work looks toward a blurring of the traditional distinction and linearity of process between an active act of inscription and a prior, passive receptive surface. It seeks to address the accompanying value systems that have defined this. Through explorations of intimacy and reciprocity at surfaces my work hopes to reframe the page as an active mode of complex empathetic statement. Invisibility, impermanence, illegibility, radical tenderness and the illogical are often reoccurring themes."
