Untitled, Nicola Strathearn
Cotton organdie, neoprene and various yarns
This collection of textiles for fashion was inspired by my fascination with details in nature, such as lichens and fungi whose beauty is often overlooked or unseen. I have contrasted curious combinations of materials such as silk, mohair, Tyvek and neoprene, and used a range of techniques including laser cutting, digital embroidery, crochet and bonding to create innovative and intriguing fabrics.
