2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist 

Artist Statement | I restricted my medium to found textiles. Partly about sustainability and creative thinking. I also wanted to explore working with fabric more. I’m really interested in materiality and what different materials evoke. Working with a less familiar material added to the challenge. Working with my hands seemed to relate well back to the theme rewilding. When each prompt arrived there was an excitement and focus outside of myself whatever was going on. I created intuitively. Each prompt evoked a different mood, time, colour, lighting or shape. I tried to be spontaneous while keeping fabric my focus.
