My latest embroidered collection draws inspiration from my overwhelming and vested interest in the current ‘epidemic’ of poor emotional health and well-being of young people today. The collection takes its colourful palette from childhood play, while the graphic repeats are a controlled and consistent representation of the organic and unpredicted shapes from biological images of inside the human body, paying particular interest to images of the brain. I have learnt that positive relationships and consistent interactions are fundamental during the early years of brain development, for good emotional health and well-being into adulthood. The connection and relationship between myself, the maker and the collection was similarly of great significance. whilst mixing a technological process of laser cutting and traditional hand embroidered techniques such as couching, wrapping and applique. Especially at a time where the word ‘interaction’ is heavily used in a digital sense, this playful, multi contextual and contemporary, hand embroidered collection evokes curiosity and the need to interact physically. A collection that consists of embroidered wallpapers, reversible lampshade textiles and room dividers that create beautiful and playful spaces for the home and commercial architecture. This collection will be showcasing at New Designers in London 2019.
