I've never seen my grandmother or my mother ever do any handiwork.
I began embroidering on my own back in 2008 during the Sewing a local cultural centre where I would spend entire days sewing, smoking cigarettes and during breaks I would read the graffitied wall of the building. Whilst sewing, smoking and reading I used to contemplate upon a way of rewriting those graffitied slogans, perhaps that's the reason why I chose thread and needle.
From that point onwards I began to treat stitching as a method of rewriting.
I'm interested in the way in which words can function in various spaces, what kind of relationship does content have with its form.
The collection of over 40 different works of stitching is constantly growing.
Every year, (mostly during winter) when the pace of life slows down, I dedicate my evenings to stitching. Selected works from this series have been used in the Urban embroidery
project.
