"The Places I Have Been In My Head" NEW Collection of Textile Works 2025

**Released June 5, 2025**

There are places I’ve walked in my mind. Some, I touched with my hiking boots. Others I conjured while standing still. This newest collection came quietly, like mist settling on moss—hand-dyed, hand-stitched, a soft remembering.

Each piece is built with the humblest of cloth: linens once folded on dinner tables, napkins stained with use, cotton worn thin by time. I dyed them in the rhythm of the forestallowing colour to bleed, to bloom, to run freely like water on rock. The forms that emerged were not forced but found.

The scenes are not replicas. They are translations.

A curve of green that might be a shoreline. A washed-out blue like the breath of morning over a quiet lake. A line of thread that hums like the edge of a mountain at dusk. These are not literal landscapes—they are felt places. They are where I go when I am still.

The stitching with my machine is slow and intuitive, guided not by plan but by pause.  I am inspired by the impulse to follow the bend of a shadow or echo the lean of a pine. I let memory guide my hands, and so the work holds more than what is visible. It holds weather. Emotion. Silence.

The Places I Have Been In My Head is a collection of these felt maps. Places real and imagined, layered and altered by time. I believe we all carry inner geographies. We hold them in our bodies—the streams we’ve stood beside, the cliffs we’ve leaned into, the trails that showed us something of ourselves. 

These pieces are soft-spoken, but full of voice.

They speak of solitude, of wonder, of returning.

And always—always—of the land.
