My final project explores the theme of trauma and mindfulness as a way forward from creative anxiety where the emphasis is placed on the process of making as a restorative practice and material exploration. Repurposing discarded materials and end of yarns, and using traditional craft methods, the designs reveal themselves through repetition where simple colour combinations, dominated by availability of materials, accentuate the geometric structure and pattern. In piecing segments together I explore resemblance to the healing process, where a new structure is being formed while the fragility and signs of trauma remain visible within. My textiles evoke softness and a sense of touch, and are aimed at both fashion and interiors.

Final collection – textiles for fashion
My final project explores the theme of trauma and mindfulness as a way forward from creative anxiety where the emphasis is placed on the process of making as a restorative practice and material exploration. Repurposing discarded materials, leather offcuts and end of yarns, and using traditional craft methods, the designs reveal themselves through repetition where simple colour combinations, dominated by the availability of materials, accentuate the geometric structure and pattern. In piecing segments together I explore resemblance to the healing process, where a new structure is being formed while the fragility and signs of trauma remain visible within.
Textiles for interiors
This project explores the process of making as a way to better mental health, while concentrating on knotting and macrame techniques to create textiles for interiors. Through utilisation of these traditional craft methods and processes such felting, and through repurposing discarded materials and end of yarns, I aim to achieve fresh outcomes, where the availability of materials have been allowed to control the visual aesthetics and colours combinations.
