Up to date:
As the new term draws ever closer I thought, over the next few days I would post a few images of what I got up to towards the end of the second year on my Printed Textiles Course at Leeds.
'A place for everything and everything in its place'
My final project of second year was inspired
by the incredible and prolific work of architect and designer Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin as part of The Camac Design Wallpaper Competition. Through a variety of initial research sources I felt inspired not only by
Pugin’s style but the way in which he thought and approached his work. It was
whilst watching a documentary that I heard a comment about his desire to design
‘more than just’ a building or whatever his project may be and this is where my
collection stemmed from.
I decided that each design should have something unique about
it, something that would make it more than just your average wallpaper. The
result was an investigation in to interactive wallpaper with elements of
hand stitching and abstracted linear pattern and texture.
The wallpaper today is a ‘colour me in’ wallpaper - giving the freedom for others to play and become the designer.
