While her first experience was with a tabletop loom at art school, the moment that truly piqued her interest was when she grasped the basics and taught herself how to weave a double cloth. She's inspired by personal experiences, matching her materials to local yarns that would otherwise go to waste. For example, while at a weaving residency in rural Iceland, she savoured the harsh weather by sourcing Icelandic wool and honing local techniques. Her process is meditative, finding joy in freedom and spontaneity rather than rigid, overwrought rules.
