#PortfolioDay !!!

I'm a British artist living in #Porto.
Theories of #philosophy of #memory inspire my #cyanotype #origami and #stitchwork creations.

Currently working on #Situationist International studies of cities and maps, and philosophy of cultural memory. Would love to collaborate with a #cartographer or #architect ...

Just made my first ever piece of clothing!

Made #hakama from very lightweight denim, for my best friend.

I changed the design, adding a pocket on one side and a button closure on the other, along with a full waistband to replace the traditional ties and open side vents.

I've never made anything 'proper' before, never used a pattern, so I'm happy how these turned out.
