Vanessa Hindshaw

Informed by personal photography taken throughout the Faroes Islands and Scotland, Vanessa’s project seeks to communicate the atmosphere of these landscapes and the narratives they possess. Human connection and a sense of place are key concepts explored throughout her work - the place informs the design, enabling a reflective focus on colour, materials, process, and context. 

Exploring the concept of textiles as communication, the sense of place expressed throughout this project is also intended to evoke a slower pace of living. This is primarily conveyed through a craft-led process encouraging a renewed connection with the maker.

Combining analog and digital processes, Vanessa has developed a collection of screen-printed interior textiles, handmade quilts and wooden surface designs aimed at modern homes seeking mindful living spaces. Interactions between colour, materials, and traditional and modern techniques celebrate the purpose and value of contemporary craft in the digital age.
