My work focuses on psychogeography and explores how the places we visit can shape and inform our identities. My interest in this topic began while discussing the work of Richard Long with students during a school placement, and my ideas have flourished from there. Through this project, I have used embroidery to track my movements over a span of 100 days, constructing a narrative of my daily life and the changes that have taken place in that time. I wanted to use mapping as a way to explore mindfulness and mental health, and to further absorb the minutiae of daily life through the meditative process of stitch.I have employed a combination of hand and machine embroidery, alongside natural dyeing processes and recycled materials, to create artworks that reflect both the urban and rural scenes I have encountered throughout this project.
