About
Exploring touch, texture, sensory experience and the human need for softer spaces to land.
I believe art can help humans feel more grounded in the spaces they move through.
My work is centred around touch, texture and sensory experience - creating tactile sculptural art and sensory benches that invite calm, connection and presence in an increasingly overstimulating world.
What began as traditional upholstery slowly evolved into something far deeper: a practice rooted in emotional connection, accessibility and creating spaces that feel softer, safer and more human.
Through fibre, texture and tactile interaction, I create work designed to be felt - not just seen.
From upholstery to sensory art.
My creative journey began in traditional upholstery, where I spent years restoring and rebuilding furniture by hand. During that time, I became deeply aware of both the emotional connection people hold with objects and the enormous amount of textile waste created within the industry.
What started as a desire to reduce waste slowly evolved into something much more meaningful.
Using discarded textiles, natural fibres and tactile processes such as weaving, latch hook, tufting and embroidery, I began creating sculptural works that invited interaction through touch and texture.
Over time, I realised the work was no longer simply about furniture or fibre art.
It was about creating moments of grounding, curiosity and connection for humans navigating an increasingly fast and overstimulating world.
Touch became central to my practice - not simply as interaction, but as a way of helping people reconnect with themselves, their surroundings and the present moment.
Creating art beyond sight.
My work is deeply rooted in sensory experience, inclusivity and the belief that art should be accessible through more than vision alone.
Through touch, texture and tactile interaction, I create pieces that invite people to slow down, reconnect and experience art in a more embodied way.
This work has become especially meaningful for sensory seekers, neurodivergent people and the vision-impaired community - communities who are so often excluded from traditional “do not touch” art experiences.
Every sensory bench, sculptural work and tactile installation is intentionally designed to welcome interaction, curiosity and connection.
If my work can offer even a small moment of calm, grounding or relief within an overwhelming world, then it has done what it was created to do.
Grounded in fibre, texture and the natural world.
Nature quietly shapes every part of my practice - from the materials I choose to the textures, colours and sensory experiences woven throughout my work.
Using natural fibres, recycled textiles and reclaimed materials, I create tactile pieces that honour both human connection and environmental care.
My background in upholstery opened my eyes to the enormous amount of waste produced within the textile industry, and over time my practice evolved into a way of transforming discarded materials into something meaningful, sensory-rich and lasting.
Living and creating on Taungurung Country, surrounded by bushland, changing seasons and organic textures, continues to deeply influence the way I create.
Through fibre, touch and process, my work invites a slower and more connected way of engaging with both ourselves and the spaces around us.
Creating softer, more human spaces.
My work continues to evolve beyond traditional ideas of fibre art and furniture, moving toward sensory-rich environments that invite grounding, interaction and connection within the spaces we live and move through every day.
I’m especially passionate about bringing tactile sculptural works and sensory benches into public and shared environments - from homes and workplaces to galleries, foyers, airports and community spaces.
I believe the environments around us have the power to shape how we feel.
Through texture, touch and thoughtful sensory design, my hope is to create spaces that feel calmer, more connected and more human for the people moving through them.
As both an artist and human, I’m continually learning, unlearning and growing - allowing my practice to evolve alongside a deeper understanding of inclusivity, sensory experience and what it means to create work that genuinely supports people.
