Artists Statement

I use sewing pattern paper to create sculptural works that explore hidden women's narratives. This delicate piece examines themes of memory and resilience through the language of historical dress forms, honouring traditionally feminine pursuits while illuminating women's unacknowledged contributions across generations.
