Know Thyself (2025) is constructed from the prints of a weaving that were torn and re-assembled using small varied weavings. This piece considers the parallel paths of care and destruction when building a historical and personal narrative. In Ancient Greece the practice of wool-work was regarded as a form of identity building and a form of agency. While influenced by the lost history of ancient textiles and our fragmented understanding of such pieces, Know Thyself asks the viewer to consider ancestral and inter-generational trauma that is often left unspoken and the ways in which we rebuild and heal from this lack of knowledge.
