Pics from my co-facilitated day-long workshop ‘Honoring the Spirits of Place’ at Schumacher College as part of my Masters program Ecological Design Thinking. Ali Dowling and I acted as guides for a playful day of connection and co-creation with the more-than-human world.

It was such a pleasure to sink into such a deeply open and relational place with the amazing participants. Thank you to all that joined us!

"A Stitch in Time" is an ongoing embroidery project that explores complex notions of place, belonging, and colonial legacy through the meticulous craft of needlework. Using a vintage coverall as my canvas, I embroider images that emerge from daily walks and reflections along the River Dart and through English woodlands.

The slow, meditative process of embroidery becomes a physical manifestation of processing historical traumas. Each stitch represents a moment of contemplation, connecting personal history to broader colonial narratives. Symbols such as broken hearts, fairy tale motifs, and indigenous plants gradually materialize on the garment, creating a wearable tapestry of reconciliation.

This project intertwines traditional European craft with a personal, contemporary confrontation of my own colonial legacy. By choosing embroidery, I connect with my own cultural heritage while critically examining its complexities. The resulting garment serves as both art piece and personal artifact, embodying the ongoing labor of confronting privilege and rebuilding ethical relationships to land and community.

Only surviving archival footage of this install I did for Outdoor Vision Fest. It’s hard to tell but the paintings eyes follow as you walk back and forth, the lady on the right laughs if you hang out too long, and the guy on the left will draw a little pic if he senses you there. Would love to improve on this very buggy project someday! Shoutout to Benjamin Geck who did all the heavy coding!!
