I stitch internet culture into cloth – literally
Drawing on the absurdity of memes and the intimacy of traditional embroidery, my work explores the tangled mess of 21st-century life. I’m especially drawn to the strange overlaps between the digital and the domestic where a hand embroidered SpongeBob meets slow-burning climate dread.
This fusion began when I first encountered the layered beauty of Bangladeshi Kantha, which unlocked something in me. Since then, I’ve developed a visual language that sits somewhere between Dadaist collage, internetcore aesthetics, and needlepoint folklore.
Every thread is a form of resistance; to speed, to simplicity, to despair. In a world of infinite doom-scrolling and algorithmic overwhelm, I use slowness and handcraft as a way to think deeply. The labour involved isn’t just technical – it demands presence – not as a retreat but as a confrontation
My pieces don’t offer neat conclusions. They’re portals: strange, stitched windows into the contradictions of modern life. Politics, technology, humour, and horror all coexist. You might laugh, then perhaps wonder why.
Ultimately, I hope to create work that lingers; art that rewards repeat encounters, invites reflection, and builds a shared language for navigating our interconnected chaos. Whether you follow my practice, support it, or collect it, you’re joining a wider conversation. One stitch at a time.
