About me
Lorna Phipps is a Textile Designer and Artist who creates bespoke hand painted and embroidered fabric for fashion and interiors. Often taking inspiration from a number of different elements, including nature and architecture. Exploring design motifs through drawing, her designs are highly detailed, with different inspirational elements working together to create dynamic motifs. Combinations of thick yarn silk shading and digital embroidery are especially important in Lorna’s work, adding interesting textures.
Projects
- Concrete Jungle‘Concrete Jungle’ explores animal’s adaptations to urban life as deforestation becomes an increasing problem to animals and their habitats. These patterns designed combine urban buildings with fragmenting animals to stimulate camouflage. The heavy weight patterned fabric with hand painted motifs emulates the urban and animal cross over. With combinations of thick and thin yarns embroidered into the painted motifs, it creates texture for the animal’s fur.
