More about this work

These works are made from sections of the same canvas caravan annex, folded, shaped and reassembled in different ways. Each piece retains its original stitching, seams and eyelets, which are left visible and treated as compositional features rather than concealed as remnants of function.

The process began through exploration — unfolding the material, responding to its weight, wear and subtle irregularities. The canvas is thick and weathered, carrying traces of long holidays and time outdoors. For me, it recalls childhood trips and shared routines, before screens and digital distraction shaped everyday life.

While each work follows a different formal approach — some pleated, others layered or framed — they share a graphic restraint and careful attention to tone and surface. Added materials are selected for how they sit against the canvas in shape, contrast or density.

These pieces speak quietly to protection and familiarity — to the structures we assemble, inhabit and pack away — and to how materials can hold memory long after their original purpose has passed.
