Hormones within women's bodies, seemingly insignificant and ineffable, intricately intertwine to create the complex and nuanced experience of menstruation. These bodily sensations are embedded within daily life, merging to form embodied, emotional, and very personal lived experiences. Using textile materials of various colours and textures, I employ weaving, a medium historically connected to women's labour and liberation, as my means of expression. Through knotting, wrapping, and layering techniques, I materialise invisible, intimate, and historically stigmatised bodily experiences. The inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of the materials allow for openness, messiness, fluidity, and richness in representing menstruation, making invisible experiences visible, tangible, and open to discussion.
