Rhea Moras

Textile artist and designer

As an artist and observer, Rhea Moras turns to textiles as a way of thinking through the body and material. In quiet dialogue with threads, she explores themes of memory, trauma, nostalgia, community, and embodied, situated knowledge. She uses slow, intuitive hand-making processes, such as poking, skeletonising, and stitch, as forms of repetitive mark-making.
