I am thrilled that fashion invited itself in this new project. I trained as a pattern maker and did a lot of sewing before working in the management side of luxury fashion. My painting practice developed without ever colliding with my fashion skills until earlier this year.
Following my Paris residency in February 2023, needle work started to hold a strong appeal. I allowed myself to play with thread and needle in a free way, not following any rules.
