ABOUT
I was born in Hong Kong in 1989 and raised in Beijing, Jakarta, and Singapore to Danish and Filipino parents. In 2007, I moved to the US to study and have been living here since.
Growing up in Asia, I was exposed to multicultural expressions of art and artisanal craft which informed my early explorations of dance, drawing, painting, and photography. In my undergraduate studies at Parsons School of Design, I discovered a love for slow, repetitive, and rhythmic processes of textile making. This eventually led me to my graduate studies at Philadelphia University where I received a Masters of Science in Textile Design.
It was at PhilaU that I learned to hand weave, which was both a new, yet familiar language to me. Though my training in weaving was heavily mechanistic, I have grown increasingly curious about my body and psyche’s familiarity with the ancient process of weaving. Since I began teaching weaving almost two years ago, I have been setting aside that training to return to and explore the basic principles of weaving in their simplicity and depth.
I have also been training as a practitioner in the modalities of SourcePoint Therapy and Breakthrough by way of Succurro, a farm and creative center situated in the foothills of the Catksill Mountains. I moved to Succurro in May of 2022 to participate in the Fellowship Program, a five-month immersion and training in practionership. Post fellowship, Succurro continues to be where I call home. My time here has and continues to provide a supportive and solid foundation of practical tools and a growing capacity to participate in and respond to life. I am grateful to be involved in a community and place that is dedicated to supporting both individual and collective health and creativity.
Currently, I teach weaving workshops at Weaver House and Succurro and offer SourcePoint and Breakthrough sessions to individuals. In my practice, my aim is to support others in their everyday lives to better respond and creatively engage with the world around them–to be human and to be more at home in the unknown.
