Threads Exhibition – 2026
Tanks Arts Centre, Cairns, Queensland

Threads emerged from an artist residency in Ahmedabad, India, in February 2026.

Inspired by India's rich textile traditions and the ancient stepwells of Gujarat, this body of work explores ideas of place, memory and connection through textile, pattern and sound.

The exhibition brings together influences from traditional block printing and sacred textile practices, alongside personal histories of making inherited through generations of women in my family.

The accompanying soundscape, Seven Steps, was created in collaboration with Neil from Orange Peel Music and incorporates field recordings made during my time in India.

Created through travel, research and hands-on learning with artisans, Threads reflects on the ways stories, materials and traditions connect across time and place.
