Recent work aims for a contemporary aesthetic in conjunction with the delicacy of traditional hand embroidery.

I'm currently creating different 'rules' to map colour, texture and form in surface design. Research into progressive readings (and outright negations) of Freud's Oedipal scenario allows the construction of a series of rules as I appropriate proposals for different mappings of partial-objects. More specifically, I draw on different appropriations of Lacan's linguistic re-reading of Freud and what has been articulated as the 'pre-Oedipal' by Melanie Klein and Julia Kristeva and the 'anoedipal' by Deleuze and Guattari.
