Weave
Laser cut fabric, interwoven and overlaid to exploit the interplay of shadows with the intention of creating more complex patterns; a celebration of colour and pattern inspired by my travels around the world. I enjoy experimenting with scale, colour and pattern repeats to vary the effect of the final designs. -

Pinny
Whilst researching for this project I discovered a photo of myself as a child wearing a pinny; I hardly ever wear one now but seeing that picture took me back to a childhood of patterns, black and white photos, protection and play. Based on a functional apron worn by a waitress in Italy and using scraps of recycled fabric pieced together to resemble an old quilt, my pinny entraps memories from my past selected from patterns from my sketch books. The final non functional result does not contain a single stitch, unlike examples from previous centuries that contained thousands - a combination of modern technology, laser cut fabric, with traditional textile inspiration. -
