One of the motifs - Dancing Across Mountains, was adapted from an original drawing by my friend Thomas Vassaux.

SUCCESSION OF REMEMBERED SYMMETRIES series, exploring gesture and movement as a form of embodied recall and fabrication. I am interested in how the body holds rhythm as emotional patterning and my making becomes a site where  gesture colour, materials and memory converge, letting my body make the shapes. #sensuouspractice
