Fashion Waste
Brands traditionally were about craft, artisans and quality, but what is a brand now? For Drifter Galleries I created an installation shop window in 2022. Viewers invited to pose in the window next to the mannequin in wearable art and hold one of my ‘shopping bag’ works. A nod to the obsession with "luxury telegraphing" and Instagram culture.

'Without community there is no liberation’ Audre Lorde
A sustainable community project started in January 2021, amid lockdown in the UK. Inspired by the history of people across a myriad of cultures, gathering to re-purpose textiles, when nothing went to waste. They created communities to sew, weave and quilt, sharing skills and stories along the way.
