Iberian Impressions
My graduate collection of printed fabrics, papers and tiles is an interpretation of Portuguese and Spanish landscapes, which uses a painterly approach to mimic the textural surroundings of the Algarve and Galicia regions on the Iberian Peninsula.
This collection incorporates an experimentation of abstract shapes with a palette of rich and warm colours, through hand and digital print methods onto dead stock, natural materials. As a conscious designer with a dedication to painting and craftsmanship, I have translated my designs onto surfaces through slow hand processes to create bespoke pieces for high-end interior application.
With a fine art approach to textiles, I have aimed to replicate the gestural marks and figurative elements of The Bloomsbury Group painters, Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry. These samples are a combination of screen, lino, UV and digital print as well as laser-cut techniques.
Plans after degree
I plan on working as a junior print designer for an Interiors brand to develop as much experience as possible within the industry. I would like to work abroad where I can gain visual inspiration and understand the business side of things, before starting my own print and surface design company.
