Art House Co-op print Exchange

Over the summer I worked on an entry for the Art House Co-op's Print Exchange, where 500 different artists created an edition of 12 prints based on the theme 'The Drive Home'. I decided to use lino cutting at my chosen medium, as I thought this would create a bold print that would stand out. After being so inspired by Angie Lewin's work, I used my own photographs of seed heads to create this stylised design. I really enjoyed lino cutting as it was quite a speedy process that created instant results, and I think I would really like to use it again in my summer project.

Sewing projects

As most of my work is concentrated on surface pattern and drawing designs, I rarely get a chance to work on something 3D. So this summer I was determined to try making patterns from my own clothes, mainly just to test my skills and see whether I was capable of it (I'm usually not very good at transferring 2D to 3D).

I have a particular jersey dress that I have owned and worn for years that is a style I like and seemed a simple enough shape to start with, and I actually found the process of making a newspaper pattern from it rather enjoyable! I was pleased with the final piece, and I think it has helped me to understand my own design process a bit better, actually being able to visualise the next steps in the production process.
