My Works 'icons spun' explores the relationship between texture, colour, and identity through vibrant portraiture entwined with yarn. By integrating thread with traditional portrait forms, I aim to disrupt the flatness of the image, introducing layers of texture that invite closer inspection. This interplay between softness and structure allows me to reimagine familiar faces in popular media, using Art to connect witnh those who rarely associate with visual art culture outside film and realism.
