Individual & Collaborative Pieces

'What a man (, woman or person) does for himself (, herself or themselves), dies with him (, her or them). What a man (, woman or person) does for his (, her or their) community lives long after he's (, she's or they're) gone.'

Contemporary Community Textile Artist
Derbyshire

Theodore Roosevelt

As a Derbyshire contemporary community textile artist, I believe in the power of collaborative co-creation, which goes beyond just the act of making. It also involves showcasing the final art to as many people as possible.

'...(a) person in the city that is putting connection and belonging at the heart of what you do.'

To achieve this, I strive to balance the exhibiting of work in unconventional spaces that are frequented by my target audience, instead of relying solely on traditional gallery settings. This approach enables me to connect with a broader range of people and create a more positive and creative impact through my art.
