Statement

I’m an intermediate artist and seamstress, who works on the crossroads of textile and new technologies. As a versatile multimedia artist, I explore the boundaries of electronic art, challenging traditional art forms while creating new creative outlets. Working across multiple mediums, my artworks are created by combining digital technologies with traditional art processes to create new experiences and communication methods. I strive to show that art and technology go hand in hand to create new possibilities and can be used to create accessible and eclectic works that can be interpreted in different ways. Through my practice, I hope to foster a sense of interconnectivity and collaboration between the physical and digital worlds.
