Expertise
My PhD project “Tracing Repair: Needlework Mending in and Beyond the Museum” researches sites of textile maintenance and care-work taking place around cultural institutions. Blending interdisciplinary studies on early needlework samplers with auto-ethnographic and participatory action research in conservation laboratories, artists’ studios and community workshops, my project approaches mending as a form of cultural heritage, an embodied practice, and a hands-on pedagogical tool. I teach on the Art History BA module Paint to Pixel: Artist's Materials & Techniques Through the Ages and supervise theses related to textiles, craft sciences and feminist art history. My writing has appeared in Museums and Social Issues, Soapbox Journal for Cultural Analysis, Re:Visions Berlin, and the environmental humanities magazine Ecoes.
