MA work

I have focused on the use of hair because of its relationship to the body. Hair is continually growing and dying. The life energy of hair leads me to a whole new world of texture and form. Throughout the year I have looked for ways to combine human and animal hair to create a range of innovative surfaces. My final textile collection is an exploration of colour, materials, tactility and surface.

In the future I would like to design high-end fabrics for interiors and am interested in collaborative projects for product and vehicle design.
