Three days in Reykjavík. This city is incredibly Three days in Reykjavík. 
This city is incredibly charming and chill! 
I visited about 8-9 museums, ended  the days with soaks in the outdoors public pools and wandered and wandered! So many lovely homes I wanted to take pictures of.  Now on a bus to a village up north where I can settle in and work.  I’m really looking forward to his part.

This first photo is a recent plant dyed blouse- I This first photo is a recent plant dyed blouse- I used a technique I haven’t used in years- I paint a concentration of plant dye on the fibre and the plant matter was dipped in iron.  Revisiting this method had me reflecting on how much my textile practise means me. Weaving  and plant dyeing is therapy for me.  I’m in the midst  of a  life long exploration in textiles, there’s so much to learn. 
The last photo has nothing to do with textiles, just a rooster and hen that have been inseparable since we got them a few years ago as babies, I try not to get attached to our chickens but these two… I LOVE them. 
And then there’s my annual garlic brag.

gentle resistance This ongoing project began wit gentle resistance 

This ongoing project began with an interest in the intersection of design, sport, and feminism, and has evolved into a space to hold and transform growing internalized rage in response to widespread social, environmental, and human rights violations.
The boxing glove serves as a central form—both a symbol of conflict and a container for emotion. Constructed through the slow, deliberate process of handweaving and textile assembly, the work holds a tension between method and feeling: a quiet, careful making that contrasts with an undercurrent of anger.
Colour operates as a counterbalance, asserting the necessity of seeking beauty, harmony, and resilience even in times of upheaval. The work does not resolve this tension, but instead makes space for its coexistence.
