About Me

I’m interested in textiles and working with fabric as I feel the quality is more interesting than paper. I prefer to draw with needle and thread rather than pen. Through experience I know hand embroidery is time consuming but the end result presents various techniques and gives a sense of involvement. I think this course is most suitable for me as I’m passionate about textiles and enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. I know Manchester has a strong sense of heritage of industrial history of the 19th century. The city has a wide variety of architectural buildings which I can use for inspiration. When given a brief I always try to a find a way of incorporating embroidery, especially hand stitching, the detail of the surface texture can be aesthetically pleasing for the viewer.

Envelope Experiment

This piece is relating to the theme of Journey, in depth travelling and postman’s and I feel the most suitable material to work on is an Envelope, this also reinforces the meaning. I’m really inspired by the variety of colour, patterns and shapes envelope. Some envelopes contain a plastic window which adds layers to it.   With this piece I’ve varnished printed part of a photocopy of my work containing maps and shoe print.
