River Kin explores the Taff as a place of shelter, movement and belonging - a home to the birds and wildlife that inhabit its banks.

​

Repurposed linen and cotton form the foundation of the piece, screen printed and digitally stitched with abstract shapes that come together to create an almost tribal rhythm.

​

The repeated marks and forms suggest patterns found in nature and the interconnectedness of life along the river - a visual language for the sense of belonging felt by the birds that make the Taff their home.

​

Made from reclaimed textiles, the piece brings together print, stitch and repetition to create an abstract celebration of the Taff and its inhabitants.
