My collection ‘Out and About’ is inspired by my photography taken of everyday outdoor settings and objects, zooming in on interesting textures, colours, and compositions. Later in my project, I was also inspired by the totem structures by Ettore Sottsass. The main process used in this project screen printing, along with small inserts of digital print for more complex and multi-layered designs. I also tufted some rug samples and explored hard surface with jesmonite mirrors, bookends, and soap dishes. I decided to make my own totems in order to relate back to my primary research.
