Held in Thread

Yarn, colour, and the healing rhythm of process.

I create abstract textile pieces using 100% wool, which I hand-dye in vibrant, expressive colours.
Each form begins with one of my paintings, reimagined through thread and texture.

The work is slow and rhythmic — shaped by repeated gestures, quiet attention, and care.
This steady, hands-on process has its own kind of healing.
There’s something powerful in the way colour, texture, and time can shift things gently.

These pieces are made with that hope in mind — that what softens and restores in the making might offer the same to others.

‘There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change’. William Stafford
