Angelica approaches embroidery through material experimentation and transformation. She creates original embellishments for embroidery that are often developed from the narratives she explores. For her concepts Angelica is often inspired by the lives of marginalised groups and their personal interaction with their body, public perception and style narrative. Subverting and deconstructing Embroidery practices to recreate new ways of working is an area of interest for Angelica.
