Silk Curtain Textiles, (2025 – ongoing)
New material expressions of original collaged works

Working with textiles is, for me, a way to extend my photographic-collage practice into drawing. The production of textile patterns has always been deeply intertwined with drawing, and collage has played a crucial role in this process. Yet collage is not typically considered a drawing practice. In my work, however, I sometimes treat it as such—layering pre-existing collaged photographic elements, fragments with adhesive dots, or even dried flowers—to construct new images. Here, the imaginary and the material collide, transforming subconscious visual cues into utilitarian objects. This way of working also brings into dialogue two image making processes: photography (as print-making) and drawing (as mark-making).

Historically, textile design has been undertaken by women artists, and thus carries a potent feminist charge. By claiming this medium, I engage with a lineage of female labour. My textile designs take on multiple lives—from upholstery fabrics for chairs and pillows to wallpaper and flowing silk curtains. But beyond their functional applications, the work explores how images, whether physical or imagined, continuously converge, and mutate. The textile patterns express my belief that photography is an act of continuous image creation.
