I am an aspiring young artist from Suffolk, my work mainly focuses on identity, relationships, and emotions which are essentially all intertwined and have fascinated me ever since I was little.
My previous project which was a family tree quilt focused on my maternal heritage, which not only reflected history but also reflects the creative gene that has been past down from older generations. 

However, although this project still has its family links, with my Grandpop being an avid poet himself, it is much more personal. It is primarily about my experience of being a teenage girl, including the everyday mundane of sitting waiting at a bus stop, to the highs and lows of relationships as well as living through covid. I also plan to incorporate my textile background by creating a soft sculpture to include in the exhibition, to emphasize further my intention behind it, which is ultimately to reflect the reality of being a teenage girl in the 21st century.

Also, I am currently thinking about pursuing fine arts at university with the intention to go into community arts or perhaps teaching

I cannot wait to be part of this amazing festival and am really looking forward to be able to share my work with you all"
