“We are fibrous structures,” Magdalena Abakanowicz proclaimed, recognising fibre as a fundamental element of the organic world and of our lived environments.

Graduating from BA Woven Textile Design at Central Saint Martins, my practice centres on tapestry weaving as a form of woven architecture - an exploration of material, structure, and place. Working between Nordic sensibility and the raw, textural landscape of Ibiza, I create pieces that are grounded in natural forms, colour sensitivity and a return to simplicity. My current work draws deeply from the Balearic island of Ibiza, both in material and in spirit. Using locally sourced and recycled fibres - including marine rope from Ibiza port, jute, esparto grass, hemp, raffia paper, reclaimed denim and Moroccan cactus silk from Sant Jordi Market, recycled wool, agave and plant fibres - I embrace a zero-waste approach, allowing each material to remain close to its natural state. This process is not only sustainable but intuitive, guided by what the island provides. The resulting textures echo the construction language of traditional Ibicencan fincas where primitive restraint, material honesty, and proportion define the architecture. Influenced by modernist principles, particularly the work of Mexican architect Luis Barragán, my tapestries are conceived as spatial interventions rather than decoration. Colour is used sparingly yet deliberately - to invite warmth, stillness, and reflection into a space. Earth derived tones such as terracotta, oxidised stone and mineral browns are often interrupted by subtle threads of soft pink, acting as emotional accents within the composition - a personal ode to my eternal love for pink.

Gaps within the weave are intentional, allowing light to pass through as it would in a finca wall or porxo opening. These moments of absence and negative space invite the viewer to pause, forming an interplay between density and air, structure and light. In this way, each piece becomes both object and atmosphere - holding space tangibly rather than simply occupying it.

Through tapestry, I aim to translate my immediate landscape into form - creating tactile works that invite presence, warmth, and a sense of groundedness into the home, while remaining deeply connected to Ibiza’s environment and it’s enduring architectural language.
