Art focused in care can offer alternative ways of being, perhaps romanticise a future where not everything is broken and disconnected. I chose to mend through art and stitch, through social engagement and rich conversations, through critical discourse and shared meals. My materials are almost always reclaimed, 
re-imagined from old bedding, donated fabrics, leftover yarn, and scraps with stories. These materials have their own history, a previous life, the imprints of use and memory carried in their surface. There is something intimate and generous in using what has already been loved, or what has been thrown away. Slowness, to me, is an act of resistance against speed, productivity, and disposability. A series of happenings, of actual moments, does more than re-imagine a sustainable and environmental kindness, it creates space for critical discussion, sharing over ‘discarded’ food, sitting on re-loved textiles. It positions sustainable living through the idea of connection, sharing what already exists and using these resources for the advantage of a more caring and joyful balance.
