Pleated Journeys
Drawn images illustrating the noises, the steps, the topography of a Journey
Journey
Research into smocking, folding and pleating in historical textiles has opened up new avenues for my practice.
I use a hand-operated, British-made machine to create pleats, where a series of ratcheted rollers, needles, and threads is able to meticulously fold metres of paper.
This process transforms ink and pencil drawings into fresh rhythms, crafting a beautiful language of marks.
As a result, I’m uncovering new vistas of pilgrimage and exploration.
