The materials I use are mainly textiles-based; particularly Nuno felt and weaving. I prefer using natural, sustainable processes and local plant colour, where possible.
Through my work, I explore the spirit of nature and the creative medicine of plants, both through artistic exploration and honouring ancient wisdom. The importance of reverence, reciprocity, and creating work to express gratitude towards the plant and the earth is a subtle, slow process that has helped my artistic practice to evolve.
The one constant element inspiring me is my sacred connection to the natural world, walking softly on the earth, with beauty.
ABOUT ALI
Working creatively with plants and textiles is central to my creative practice.
My particular interest lies in the richness of cultural diversity and cultural heritage, researching indigenous wisdom. I have a strong connection to the Q’ero community in the High Andes through my shamanic practice, selling their weavings here in my website shop.
I want to learn more from Indigenous Communities that incorporate holistic well-being through nature connection, mindfulness, and growing slow, sustainable crafts skills. I want to connect people and nature through the therapeutic arts.
