This was a piece woven in late 2018 for a friend. It was a very cathartic experience because my parents-in-law were having to sell their house which had become our family home and at the same time my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. Weaving this and focusing on the interplay of colour and weave helped me find some sense of calm in the chaos that I had become embroiled in.

Rainbow Wrap - August 2018- warp was made from supima cotton hand dyed in colours reminiscnt of a Kingfisher. This was combined with a pineapple bast fibre and cotton weft, dyed in rainbow colours. The weave chosen was an undulating twill to create the illusion of watery movement as I have always been inspired by water.

An account from when I documented some feelings around having my daughter in October 2019. Nov 2019: 'Before I had my youngest daughter I had plans to embroider a mermaid and wave middle marker on this wrap and to add these acorns or cowrie shells to the hemstitched ends. I chose the acorns because they are made from clay and acorns signify growth to me. The shells were chosen because we live by the sea. I would in one way like to collect shells from the seashore and use those but I’m not sure how I feel about personally drilling little holes into creatures homes to attach them. It’s not been the easiest time since having my daughter and this has impacted on my motivation to complete the finishing touches on my wrap. I think a combination of a sudden major move 4 hours from home during my pregnancy, health complications for me before and after she was born and her not being okay during labour have added up! I think fear has a huge effect on the brain. There were points where I didn’t think I would survive and ever be able to parent my children like I did before. I was so so scared. I have definitely not felt very much like myself since having her. Some days are better and others are really bad. I’m hoping that ‘making’ myself sew, embroider, dye yarn and weave again will be therapeutic. I absolutely LOVE what I do. After my children and their father, the greatest joy in life for me is textiles! In fact the thing I’ve found hardest since having my children (other than parenting obviously haha) is juggling time! For a while my page will be focused on the things I do to beat Postnatal Depression and hallucinations alongside my weaving and wrap making as I think it’s so important to talk about mental health.' Things continued to remain challenging and I started wondering how to document my feelings in a way that could examine how society actually treats mothers, putting under spotlight the woefully inadequate services available to help with maternal mental health.

Iridescence. A piece woven as a baby wrap for my baby back in 2019. Reeled silk warp x spun silk weft, both hand dyed. My fourth child was due in October 2019 and we had just moved from gloucestershire to Cornwall. I was endlessly inspired by the sea, the waves, the cool water on my skin, the warm sand...This wrap was inspired by the name we eventually settled on for my daughter, Iridescence. I was stunned by the colour play across this wrap and the way the light danced over the lustrous silk. It was everything I had hoped to achieve and more. The weave was chosen again to create the illsuion of dancing whirlpools of water in the sea. It worked so beautifully.
