The inspiration for my practice is womanhood. My aim is to emphasise and celebrate the many roles of women through the construction of garments, drawing from both an individual and collective identity.

By focusing on the 1940s and 1950s and the effect of the Second World War on women’s lives, the work functions as wearable art that examines the radical reinvention of female identity during this period. 

 

 

 

By deconstructing garments typical of this era and reinterpreting them using traditional embroidery techniques, a diversity of felting methods and contemporary technologies, my work creates a thoughtful critique on the emergence of modern woman.
