BA in Art and Psychology

I mainly work with the craft of crochet to create abstract-looking & often soft sculptures. Most recently, I have been exploring the sensory elements of it by inviting the viewer to interact with these strange-looking forms. I often try to incorporate bright, bold colours as these emphasize the desire of touch. In future artworks, I hope to experiment further with sensory experiences, by stuffing the crochet with lavender, for instance.
