About me

I am a lecturer in textile design, and in my textile practice research I explore a New Zealand perspective on sustainable colouration of textiles. I have developed unique technical and sustainable processes to use waste products and invasive weeds to colour cloth. I am particularly interested in the relationship between colour and place.
