About
I am a print designer with a strong intellectually curious approach. Inspired by the natural world and sense of place, I take a thorough, research focus route to projects, to truly experience what it is that I’m creating a concept around. My work tests boundaries and often subverts traditional processes of print and surface pattern design. Sustainability is a constant consideration in my work and life, tied to the natural world’s influence.I create to inspire, to educate or raise awareness, being able to do this through the medium of print is a privilege.
The garden of england
“The Garden of England” collection offers an insight to the future of sustainable couture by subversion of traditional textile design through experimental materials and processes. Kent is ideal for fruit and crop farming, hence its nickname ‘The Garden of England’, but with farming, waste occurs. This waste is dried and powdered and used as an additive, as well as natural pigments for bioplastics, which were developed through a hands-on ‘cooking’ process. Digital and physical processes are combined by scanning and manipulating the bioplastics, printing these onto organza, whilst screen printing and cyanotype methods are contrasted with laser engraving and material innovation, creating new ways in which to consider surface pattern and textured forms. Oak gall ink and oil pastel are used to generate classical motifs, a contrast to the unconventional materials. The project is documented and curated in the TGOE magazine.
