My work focuses on my family’s connection to the weaving trade in north-east Scotland that stretches over at least seven generations. I combine ancestry research, genetic data and explorations of materiality to consider connection to place and the value placed on intergenerational knowledge.
I am a textile artist, handweaver and scientist based in Aberdeen city who explores scientific concepts through data physicalisation (giving physical form to information) and material exploration, developing handwoven textile objects and sculptures that promote conversations about identity, heritage and connection to place.
