Bio
I'm an artist working in drawing, painting embroidery and digital art, working with play and reflect together on mediations between participants- visitor - artist -institute, through inviting spontaneous us organic play with forms, words, and lines.
Working with organic forms and creatures budding in fabric and on paper imbued with delicate embroidery to explore femininity and feminisms.
My research practice delves into archives and botany, herbariums, natural history and the use of the arts as therapeutic tools in discovering one’s relationship with the self and others, working with notions of women, nature, and storytelling and the fictional autobiographical aspect of these creatures. These drawings become a medley of morphing creatures, chimaera, an amalgamation of biologists’ drawings and observations and art forms in nature embedded with what may be known as women’s work, like embroidery or fine line drawings and flowing watercolours. I have explored turning these 2D drawings into wearable dresses and garments. I hope to explore this area further by working with digital tools and traditional printing methods like silkscreen and linocut printing.
I am a co-founder of Basbous.inc shop with Tala Abdulhadi.
I received my BA and MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and a postgraduate diploma in the arts in therapy and education.
