Carried In Cloth | Fabric Lino Prints

Carried in Cloth celebrates the enduring presence of Pacific motifs through textile. More than a material, cloth becomes a vessel—carrying stories, identity and cultural knowledge across generations. My process is informed by the Samoan practice of siapo ‘elei, in which designs are transferred onto barkcloth using a carved pattern board known as an ‘upeti. Through my own contemporary approach to textile printing, I honour this traditional practice while exploring new ways to carry culture forward.
