Driven by a desire to engage the senses and explore tactility, translucency and opacity, my work reflects my interest in haptic perception - our instinct to touch and the importance of touch to the human experience. Taking an experimental approach to the ancient craft of felt making, I explore material combinations and processes to celebrate tactility. I make functional objects with surfaces that invite touch and challenge the perception of felt.
