can you feel me in the swells? , 2025-26

a collection of items that reimagine escape through folklore, dreams, water and swells. the bridge between home and freedom.
feel all earthly tethers dissolve into salt and foam. to embrace nature as a welcoming mother.

“the quiet hum of salt and light”

2026; plaster, chicken wire, branch, cotton yarn, shells, naturally tumbled stone, sari silk, cotton

“a soft, endless cradle”

2026; cyanotype

take me home,
not to land
but to endless falling
where time folds into salt
and I am soft again
a body without border,
a breath beneath the waves

“of swell and surrender”

2026; cyanotype
can you feel me in the swells has been a journey of experimentation, in development since august 2025.
it links the physical - home, the north kent marshes - with the spiritual - folklore, detachment and disassociation - through sculpture, drawing, photography, poetry and textiles.

“time falls into salt”

2026; acrylic, clay, glass beads, sari silk

I remember that salt like a mother
like a vow
and I want to be brine
not body
dissolve
into the current, not collide

“72”

2026; acrylic, coloured pencil, graphite

“finally undone”

2026; plaster, chicken wire, cotton yarn, earthenware ceramic

a shimmer, a ripple
a promise undone
take this body, make it pearl
make it wave
make it disappear
