I am May, a textile weaver based on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia.
Raised in Byron Bay and of Thai heritage I found weaving by accident. Years after beginning my practice I discovered that generations of women in my family had also been weavers in Isaan, northeastern Thailand. What first felt like chance became a quiet thread connecting past and present.
My work sits between art, adornment and function, often taking the form of wearable textiles, sculptural cloth and commissioned pieces.
Influenced by landscape, memory and my Thai ancestry. I approach weaving as a form of listening. Cloth becomes a place where time accumulates, where histories are held and where presence is made visible through touch.
