About Me

'The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely' ................. so i'm totally shit at making my space look cool coz i make stuff by hand and most stuff is hand stitched, slow and laborious and meditative but i love it. its all bout the pixels.so about my art: im a tapestry artist, i work on plastic and am interested in interstitial spaces. spaces of 'nothingness' that make up the bulk of our everyday lives. i like exploring pixilation, boundaries and where errors occur through digital signage, billboards and urban roadscapes. i also design and hand knit accessories.... particularly smittens. Id love to be making albums covers some day too as i particularly like working with sound and have done 2 shows with Josh Abrahams doing my sound... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

anyone that makes me laugh, has their own culture, does banter and/or artists, designers, musicians....
