Carol Sorhaindo

Artist Statement:

“My migratory journey between the UK and Dominica at various stages of life informs concepts of roots, connection and wellbeing. I have a fascination with plants, textiles and fragments. Unravelling historical threads appeals to my investigative nature. My processes are an entangled mix of site exploration, drawing, painting, installation, textiles, natural dyes and reflective writing.”
