I Weave-Knit-Stitch-Paint then Fold-Install-Perform. My practice is part Care part Resist and explores an alternative motherhood story.
I am a graduate from the Royal College of Art and founder of Castello 6668 Collective which curates emerging talent exhibitions expressing Woman, Vessel, World.
I am originally Spanish but based in London & Venice. I also hold a Biochemistry BA from Corpus Christi, Oxford and a previous career in pharmaceutical investing.
My main materials are yarn, fibres, wire and recycled fabrics as well as oil paint, pencil and Posca pens.
My principal tools are a domestic knitting machine, a rigid-heddle loom, a sewing machine, crochet hooks, needles and brushes.
