Alaw Glesni-Griffiths is an autobiographical artist largely specialising in textiles and rug making. Her work is a response to her experiences as a woman, mother, and single parent. 

​

Working with textiles Glesni-Griffiths aims to create a discussion around Textile's place in art history and working towards the reclassification of 'fibre crafts' as fine art in order to properly credit the lost women of Art History. 

​

Based on her own experiences as a mother she aims to bring to light the joys and hardships of solo parenting while juggling an education and career. Her work reads as a timeline of self development and self discovery in the reclamation of her identity after motherhood.

​

Glesni-Griffiths' practice is best summarised in three words: poetic, political, and personal.
