I sometimes get a bit bogged down by words and inspirational thoughts, forgetting about the fact that I am actually a textile designer making tangible things.
I've started exploring how you can elevate the status of a stain on cloth by designing around it. I've been looking for a long time at the correlation between textiles and nature. Looking at how fungus, lichen and moss take over a surface in nature over time I have adopted the same concept in my textile designs. I have the idea of extending the stains into something of beauty. I have started by stitching around them with tiny, intricate lines.
In the coming weeks I want to also explore printing around these stains with fine lines, taking inspiration from my drawings from nature.
