Textiles.

Throughout history, fiber arts art such as weaving, knitting and embroidery was to a means for women to reflect on the current social, political and economic state. It was a platform to tell a personal story and to establish a connection with the community. It has ties to folk traditions, crafts and domesticity. Working with threads started off as a test, a way to translate my drawings onto larger surfaces. In the process, I was intrigued by the symbols and patterns. The significance of semiotics is relevant here, attaching meaning to images, manners of operation, modes of communication. I often photograph the finished textiles in public spaces and which gives new interpretations. Sometimes, the textiles are incorporated into more sculptural forms and installations by usually using metal rods.
