Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)

Located somewhere between drawing and textile-based disciplines, my work examines the synergies between digital technologies and traditional analog techniques. My interest in crochet—specifically, its materiality and coding schemas—allows me to create initial drawings as patterns, from which objects manifest, and which themselves become code for drawings. This relational cycle, or repetition of the same work through different forms of observation and visual language, facilitates a multifarious nuanced approach. Further, it provides a specific logic that involves an intelligence of the body. As the work moves through its stages of fabrication, it reveals its inherent forms and symbols, yielding new knowledge through translation and leaving a temporal artefact of existence.
