“My aesthetic evolves around fusion; contrast of techniques, materials and inspiration. I concentrate on combining traditional, hand and innovative approach to knit, such as using horse hair, untreated alpaca, berries home made dyes. I am fundamentally inspired by non physical subjects; psychology & sociology, however, natures ‘ multi dimensional elements: such as evolution, preservation, decay.

Texture, remains a source of fascination and often a backbone of visual and textural moodboards.

Currently I am living  in Kiev & preparing for a summer internship  in Copenhagen.”
