I started making my wall blankets in a period of grief.
Making them has shown me how important it is to feel safe, within myself.
Learning how to slow down, to allow, to aknowledge, to embrace and to soften…
It enables to feel through mourning.
This creates the base; the warm woollen blanket. But just as important: these nourishing qualities protect the new, which inevitably arises from the old, and give it space to grow.
The shapes of recycled textiles flow, bounce and tingle with playfulness, sensuality and curiosity. It is the visualisation of energy in motion, within the cyclical process of death and birth.
