Textile Design – Embroidery
My starting point was the Supermarket; I like to use what I have accessible to me from the onset of a project and it worked in my favour that the only place where we’re allowed to be is also a place of rich aesthetic value. I’ve worked with a variety of mediums to translate my research and drawing into a collection of tufted samples, utilising mundane household items for their material quality rather than intended use; also embellishing and manipulating to transform this fabric. I’ve enjoyed experimenting with scale and composition on a small 3D form and visualising these samples onto the human body.
