Tri Circle Square Exhibition

A while ago a friend, who is a knitwear designer, suggested we hold a collaborative exhibition together with some other fashion and textile designers and a photographer: Clara Jones, Andrea Wardrop and Lucy Eggleton  Tri Circle Square was held at the Colour Makes People happy store in East Dulwich.

A limited palette of a pale blue, fleshy pink, bright acidic yellow and an almost fluorescent orange/pink were chosen and we decided to base our ideas on three shapes: triangle, circle and square. Because our work is is very different it was a brilliant idea to have a unifying colour palette and theme. I made a selection of jewellery, bags and illustrations...

A week before the exhibition Ed Walker took some photographs of some of the work that was included in the show. This was the first time my bags had been photographed on a model and I was really pleased with the results. More pictures from the shoot can be found here.

Another sketchbook

Some pages from a textile sketchbook with mixed media imagery based on natural forms using monoprint, water colour and fine liners. I wanted to do something that was bold like Marimekko and influenced by my synesthesia drawings. I'd like to develop these further into a combination of screen print, embroidery and applique on leather.

Working textile design sketchbook

Here are some pages from the sketchbook I have been using on and off for the past three years to help generate ideas for the accessories I make.
 There are a few fashion illustration ideas in there and some drawings of birds and a fawn that were never developed into anything...
