As a Toronto-based textile student, the founder of the sustainable home and pet textile brand FreddieMade and an emerging artist. My creative journey is deeply rooted in the intricate intersections of mental health issues, personal stories and exploration of societal reflection. Textiles and digital works are my primary medium and language, accompanied by other material explorations like wires and ceramics. These allow me to express the intangible aspects of emotion and cognition through surface designs, garments, and installations. 

My artwork always shows a sense of conflict between well-organized shapes and chaotic colours. The subjects always come from transient feelings and thoughts captured from my memory and experiences. Every creation to me is a defamiliarization process of myself; it lets me communicate my thoughts in more detail through my artwork by flashing back and re-experiencing my past. I use surrealism and neo-expressionism in my work as a way to describe psychological tenors like mania and depression, and I aim to convey turbulent emotions and seek a sense of balance in a way that is accessible to a broad audience while also providing a self-reflective opportunity.
