Festival: 2016
I am a textile designer and weaver, originally from Derby, now based in Coventry. I create distinctive woven scarves for men and women in natural fibres: lambswool, silk and linen; and larger non-functional artworks for interior display.
I design and make geometric textiles that explore pattern, contrast and colour. My work is informed by ideas in mathematics; my previous career in technology research and an interest in Fair Isle knitting.
Each scarf is designed, woven and hand finished by me personally.
