Previous Work
River of Happy
Inspired by the Prayer Flags of Nepal dispersing believers' wishes with the wind, this site-specific work has led the artist to explore new methods of natural dying to embrace more sustainable practice. By investing the time to hand dye natural fibres and hand sew the flags the artist hoped to deliver spread positive feeling in a way that would not harm the environment.
Displayed here are responses from staff and students at York College, to the artist's question, 'What makes you happy?'. The most popular responses providing the motifs for Wishing Flags displayed in a large outdoor area at the college. The artist invited the audience to think about what made them happy.
Granny's Beach Hut Lolita CoOrd
Rooted in an earlier project about repeated shapes the artist has explored a range of techniques to express the quirky nature of the beach hut in a visually exciting way. The prolific nature of her work, along with open minded experimentation, enabled the artist to develop and extend her creative ideas.
Combining research into historic costume and customs related to beach huts with contemporary Kawaii culture resulted in a perfect fusion of two contrasting eras. The installation included not just a dress but everything the budding Lolita might want to pick from when selecting her CoOrd (wrist cuffs & a beret, necklaces & bracelets, bags and a bonnet, even spare bows for the dress).
Some digital patterns from lino cuts and other print methods which I hope to return to.
