Design ethos:Fine line drawings are always an inital start to my research, simple monochrome, to capture the intimate details.
I have always been interested in the construction of textiles and garments. Structure plays a vital role within my work. Colour pallets always involve soft pastle greys and range towards more vivid tones and often based on pastle hues. These colours come from a wide spectrum of research ideas, from ceramics, art, fashion trends to cultural beliefs. Development brings manipulation of fabric into my work, whether its combining diciplines, pleating or deconstructing my cloth. Over all my collections of samples explore different weights of cloth, paring woven cloth with digital printed fabric designs aimed at the forth coming fashion trends.
Previous work:
My most resent work was based on the
Natural Form, involving inspired cotton
and linen slubby cloth manipulated with pleats
based on a
Chanel Tweed. Pastel colours were
teamed with vivid autumn hues of purple
and blue within the digital print which
accompanied the woven cloth.
Architectural Influence:
Parallel steel frames will influence my line drawing.
Glossy, transparent, or smooth yarns will be the base
of the cloth. The parallel line of the weave structure
will reflect ridges, line, and scale, whereas pleats reflect
structure and shape.
