Graduation year 2025

Shorelines and Seamlines is a publication that explores the ocean as a silent witness to histories of movement, connection, colonisation, and resistance. Created over six months at CSM in 2024/25 as part of a 15-person group project among the CCC class, it emerges in response to a world marked by rising nationalism, closed borders, and the erasure of shared memory.

Using the idea of the transoceanic —not just as a metaphor but as a method—the publication brings together art, textiles, and storytelling to uncover relationships across distance and difference. Textiles, like the ocean, carry traces of labour, migration, and exchange; they help us feel and understand histories that are often overlooked.

Through speculative fiction, poetry, and visual works, contributors reflect on identity, belonging, and embodiment across coastlines and cultures. From queer lunar myths to embroidered postcards and Indigenous textile knowledge, Shorelines and Seamlines invites readers to reimagine how we relate to each other—and to the ocean—through more fluid, connected, and decolonial ways of thinking.

I was Senior Designer for this publication.
