This work was created during my residency at the NSCAD Studio Community Residence in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Immersed in a place shaped by sailing, boatbuilding, and maritime life, I became absorbed by the water - spending hours observing and documenting its rhythms and shifting surfaces.
Inspired by Yoko Ono’s Sky TV, which transposes the act of cloud gazing onto a screen in the gallery through a live feed of the sky, this piece reflects on the practice of “water-gazing.” Here, however, the experience is reimagined as a simulation, composed of three moving photographs of the bay.
The accompanying soundscape (accessible via icon below) layers whistles, hums, breath, and the rustle of fabric to echo the wind moving across the sea—a murmuring simulation of water and air within the stillness of the gallery.

Mending Circle
Participatory Artwork: plywood, unravelled knitwear, snips, needles and misc. threads.
Mending Circle is a community-oriented project where I invite direct participation in learning darning and stitching skills on a large knit sculpture. The piece was launched at the ARTCH Festival in Montreal in 2023 and has since been presented at festivals across London, UK, including ODAC's Regent’s Roots, Lambeth's Country Show, and Acrylize’s JOY Festival, engaging over 200 participants.
Made from unraveled sweaters, sourced second-hand, twelve sections are machine knit and joined to form a giant colour wheel. The knit piece is stretched across a seven foot wide circular frame table-top, emulating the function of an embroidery hoop, allowing for users to learn and practice stitching on the taut textile. This project focuses on making art accessible, experiential and relational - using fibres as a means to connect people momentarily, via play, craft and (skill) sharing.
Photos are largely taken by GT Turner, with a select few by Arseni Khamzin, Toby Crispy and Alex Richelli.
