About this artwork
The "Threads of Life" series, including paintings like "Remnants and Remembering," grew from my deep fascination with how our personal stories are woven. Each piece explores how individual moments, relationships, and experiences—like countless threads—create the tapestry of our lives.
I'm drawn to the idea that no memory is truly lost. The gold leaf in my work symbolizes those vivid, shining moments, while the actual threads represent the subtle,… often unseen connections between our past and present. It's about how every encounter, every emotion, and every challenge contributes to the unique fabric of who we are.
My hope is that when you see a piece from this series, you connect with your own journey, recognizing the beautiful, intricate tapestry of your own memories.

« My aim is to make art that not only tells my story but all our stories. To speak to the abused, the down-trodden, the hopeless, the lost, the lonely, the shamed, the orphan, the abandoned. »
When I pierce the painting with a needle, the resistance, the wound, the scar of thread feel truer than paint alone. Stitching transforms the surface—binding fragments, creating networks of colour, repair made visible. Paint speaks in washes and layers; thread speaks in line, dimension, and labour. Inspired by neuroplasticity, this process mirrors the brain’s rewiring after trauma: repetition forms new pathways, honouring both wound and healing. The thread doesn’t erase—it creates alternate routes, tangible evidence of repair and connection.
