Navigating My Sea, 2021
Navigating My Sea II, 2024
Navigating My Sea II worked alongside women from Her Centre, Solace and the Aaina Centre- responding to the new tapestry commission, Feeling Blue, by Albert Whittle. Based online through Royal Museums Greenwich, across a period of two months, the group worked together, dying yarn from which they learnt to weave. Alongside their weaves they used creative writing to explore how colour connects to feeling. The resulting weaves and poems were given to Stuti Bansal who responded to the work through animation. The final publication and film made in collaboration with Aurelijia, Laura, Maria, Nikeshia, Padma and Zarida, was then screened and celebrated at the Queen’s House.

Navigating My Sea III, 2025
Navigating My Sea III worked alongside women from Her Centre, Solace, Croydon Women’s Aid and the Aaina Centre, in partnership with Royal Museums Greenwich. Over a period of 3 months, we moved from the past into the future using processes of mapping in order to reflect on the places we have lived and the feelings and memories we have felt through sewing together. This series of embroidery works have been made in collaboration with participants Aurelia, Benat, Laura, Maria, Magdalena, Nikeisha, Padma, Pilomina and Zarida and translated into a poster series for all participants and centres.
