MA Textiles, Royal College of Art, Final Show

Nowadays it is common for people to have a large turnover of clothing. Global warming, soaring commodity prices, economic recession and raw material shortages tell us that this is increasingly unsustainable.

This project aims to create textiles that users will want to keep for longer. In the surface design of these textiles I aim to build an emotional relationship with the end user.

Analysing information publicly available on a person’s Facebook page enables me to build up a visual impression of that person. Through drawing, print and embroidery this can then be interpreted into textiles that contain emotional connections.
