Reprocessing (2023)
Reprocessing creates a physical and emotional safe space that encourages exploration and acceptance of neurodivergent identities. It uses a combination of digitally printed and botanically dyed textiles to generate a balance between cyberspace and the natural world.
Dreamy lengths of fabric containing glitched imagery and confessional text from a soft shelter reminiscent of forts built in childhood. The work is cyclical, overlapping in many places in a woven structure, and is not a linear narrative but rather an interaction of lifetimes of emotions and experiences growing up unknowingly neurodivergent. The piece encourages the finding of online and real-world communities in order to share, heal, and settle into self-acceptance.
Commissioned by Manchester School of Art for their Vertical Gallery.
