  • Abstracted Bodies
    Abstracted BodiesThird year project looking at abstracting the body in a bold and playful way. Using CAD embroidery, digital print, stitch embellishment and screen print I aimed to translate my original paintings into final samples.
  • Returning to Nature
    Returning to NatureFinal Major Project based on the textures and imagery of fungus. Using the techniques: screen print, CAD embroidery, digital print and stitch embellishment. The project was underpinned by my desire to use natural materials (including cork 'leather', wools, organic cotton), as well as sourcing wools from charity shops, all in aid of limiting the lasting ecological effects of my collection.

    I worked as a Community Warden for the University, which involved engaging with the local residents on behalf of the university, to gather feedback and information about living within the community.
