Creating Fibre Art with Meaning: Behind the Work, the Process, and the Collaborations That Shape It

Some works come from your head.
Others come from your hands.
And then there are the ones that come from your heart and your whole damn body.

This piece — the one I’ve been working on for weeks — is one of those.

It’s the largest I’ve made to date. It demanded everything. It had me crawling across the floor, looping metres of fibre with aching shoulders and a mind full of stories.
But what poured out was… me.

It’s called Now You See Me, and it’s about what happens when you finally decide to back yourself. To be seen — fully — not just for the polished moments, but for the potential, the boldness, the wounds, the softness. The whole of it.

Each loop holds meaning. Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many there are. But every single one was intentional. And although this piece won’t be featured in the upcoming show (let’s just say the gallery wall had strong opinions on size), it still holds so much value to me — and to the kind of work I do.

Because this is why I create.

To hold emotion and memory in physical form.
To invite pause, softness, energy and attention into a space.
To make art that doesn’t just sit on a wall — it lives there.

Collaboration is Everything

Working with interior designers and stylists is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. When you choose to bring my work into a project — whether it’s for a home, a public space, or a carefully curated editorial moment — there’s a mutual trust at play.

You trust me to bring a tactile story into your vision.
I trust you to place it in a space that lets it breathe and shine.

It mirrors the trust you have with your own clients — to hold their needs, wants and values in your hands, and translate them into something layered and meaningful. That connection matters.

If you’ve ever wondered just how powerful that process can be, I loved this piece from the team at Hare + Klein on the impact of art in interior spaces. It’s a beautiful reflection on how art can shift a room — and a feeling — completely.

What’s Coming Next

Although Now You See Me won’t be exhibited this time, I will have several pieces featured in a group show at Quadrant Gallery in Melbourne, from 25 July – 25 September. More details (and opening night info!) to come very soon.

I’d love to see you there — or connect about a custom piece if you’ve got a project in mind now. You can reach out or explore more of my work via my website.
