Here, 109 individual weavings onto bottle caps encompass the patterns I have encountered between July 2024 and September 2025. There are tube seats, architecture, paving stones, clothes, bags, signs and much more reduced to single weavings. This piece serves as an abstract journal of 421 days of my life. These are mainly drawn from everyday encounters of a London resident and commuter. The caps echo the overlooked nature of the patterns; being a design feature on bottles so quickly discarded.

Observe (V) is titled such as it is the act of my own looking but also what I encourage the viewer to do. This piece is periodically updated with newfound patterns I have woven.  

I am Matilda, an artist currently studying BA Fine art at Central Saint Martins.
My current practice bridges abstraction, minimalism, and kinetic art, realized through printmaking, installation, and weaving. My (often) semi-sculptural forms are direct workings of space using a variety of media, but most commonly electrical tape or weaving. In my art I use mathematical processes and data to reimagine the common place and encourage closer observation.

The more I have abstracted my surroundings, the more I have been seeing the numbers and repetition in mundane life. I curate this data into undecipherable visuals, simultaneously bringing light to the data, but not allowing access. There is a constant play with what I want a viewer to know about my work. My planning becomes algorithmic to visualize balance, and the act of creating becomes like plotting on a graph.
