About Trisha

My artistic practice centres on using repurposed materials and techniques that exist outside the boundaries of conventional art and craft traditions. I deliberately seek out processes and objects not typically associated with the established artistic repertoire, employing them to disrupt and reframe how we think about making, value, and materiality. By doing so, I challenge viewers to reconsider their assumptions about what materials can be, how they function, and what meanings they might carry when recontextualized.

Through this approach, I aim to shift the viewer’s experience—inviting them to see familiar, often discarded items not as waste or remnants but as carriers of new stories and visual potential. These transformed objects and images acquire an altered life that speaks to personal memory, narrative, and broader, universal themes. My work becomes a space where the mundane is elevated and reinterpreted, prompting reflection on the intersections between identity, history, and everyday life.

Over the years, I have incorporated various recycled and overlooked materials, including plastic milk bottles, discarded ethernet cables, and other remnants of domestic and industrial use. Each material brings a distinct texture, history, and associations, which I use to build layered visual and conceptual dialogues within the work.

I am focused on exploring the potential of repurposed denim jeans as both medium and message. Using a photomontage technique, I have developed a new body of work consisting of limited-edition prints on heavy-duty professional photographic paper. These pieces reflect on themes of labour, consumption, and identity embedded in the fabric of everyday life—both literally and metaphorically.

At its core, my practice is an evolving exercise in collecting, connecting, and reimagining. It gathers ideas across time, place, memory, and material to create new perspectives and interpretations. Through this, I hope to offer insight into our complex relationships with the objects surrounding us and the stories they can tell when seen in a new light.

I am a member of Red Herring Studios, Portslade, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
