I first developed my 'devotional citation' praxis in 2017. 

 

'Devotional citation' exists at the intersection of art and theory and originally involved devotionally embroidering and gifting quotations from scholarly and poetic texts back to the writers who wrote them. Whilst gifting has remained a central strand of the work, over time it has developed into a more complex critical devotional praxis, through which I seek to honour and illuminate the words and materials that make my thinking, creating and becoming possible.
