'Exposure Exhibition', Massey University, 2022
'In pursuit of a wandering mind'
Graduate Exhibition for Massey University 2022
Crochet is a form of communication within my practice, a textile manifestation often representative of my personal emotional processing. It acts as a therapeutic outlet. I am interested in art as therapy and therapy using art, while physically representing the relationships between mood and mindfulness.
I wish to honour my late grandmothers Isobel and Judy by dedicating my artwork to them. You will always be my inspirations.
'Mood Swings', Massey University, 2022
Mood Swings seeks to represent the non-verbal and therapeutic relationship between repetitive crochet movements and the shifting of emotions.
Mood Swings consists of ten individual works. Each made from cotton, hand dyed in either photochromic or thermochromic pigments, and then framed in pine.
The photochromic works change colour in sunlight and the thermochromic works change colour under heat.
'Sincerely, yours', TwentySix Gallery, 2022
[enclosed] a love letter for time spent
20-24 September 2022
‘Sincerely, yours’ explores each artist’s relationship to the self, using interdisciplinary approaches to express moments of vulnerability, tension and tenderness within themes of gender and identity. This exhibition nods to the love letter as a motif to invite audiences in; establishing the roles of subject and viewer whilst acknowledging authorship - signifying a sincere conclusion to our undergraduates as artists and designers.
Featuring: Charlotte Barnes, Margaux Febvre-Richards, Olivia Silby, Elana Spod, Samson Dell, Tayla Prutton, Mariama Hunia, Jess Trimble
'Mood Rings', Massey University Wellbeing Space, 2022
‘Mood Rings’ nods to the infamous 70s fashion accessory while manifesting physically through crochet.
Many of my works rotate around the idea of textiles as a form of communication. This textile manifestation is often representative of my own personal emotional processing and life experiences.
My recent research has involved an interest in art as therapy and therapy using art. Often, enquiring into the methods involved in both, and applying these methods within my own work as an exploration of technique and personal mindfulness.
Presenting ‘Mood Rings’ within the environment of Massey’s wellbeing space was an intentional choice. As I wish to uplift and support the space and what it represents with my artwork. And, hopefully, the space reciprocates.
A big thank you to Ellyn Rose for supporting me and facilitating this exhibition.
''And you can't quite remember how you got here'', The Engine Room Gallery, 2022
Framed by Ali Maslens writings, the exhibition is a consideration of routine, ritual and repetition. Exploring art practice as a form of introspection, engaging with therapeutic ideas and reflection, ‘And you can’t quite remember how you got here’ encourages us turn, reflect on what we bring into our lives, and what we are putting out into the world. It is a point to stop and rest, as you sit with the artworks. An exploration of method and what it means to produce art from a personal place.
Featuring: Ali Maslen, Angerlia Oliver, Ciaran Banks, Ella Harrington Knapton, Hannah Greenwold, Jac Trinh, Olivia Silby. Curated by: Coco Sargent, and Kata Brown.
