Using brightly coloured crochet I explore the relationship between restrictive capitalist culture and the light escapism necessary to feel a sense of personhood in an ever-expecting world. Keeping my practise second-hand is key to its integrity, rejecting consumption practises in order to have valid commentary. I’m influenced by current dialogue around our environmental crisis and artists who aim to bring joy. I’m interested in the idea of collectivised living, sharing space, resources, and knowledge freely for collective improvement and I believe creating art in ethical and accessible ways moves towards that goal.
