Many thanks to Denim North America and Orta Anadolu for sponsering my collection I am a creative practitioner and researcher who works within and between the disciplines of fine art and fashion. I am seeking diverse projects which can enable me to make the most of my skills, interests, and experience. Also, I am seeking funding oppurtunities which will enable me to initiate and develop my self-directed projects. The main research areas that intrigue me are indigenous textile craft traditions, utilitarian costume within different cultural contexts and vernacular architecture.
