Natures Evolution Pattern ation and Armour.

MA study 2018 Designing is a place to explore all aspects of Art and Design in its broadest sense. I like to encompass new contemporary art and design strategies and gain new craft practices using critical analysis, contextual and theoretical. I also like to develop a broader and more technical understanding of modern technologies using photographic printing, embroidery and up to date CAD within my design handwriting as a professional designer and educator. Heritage and Artisan beliefs are a continuing aspect of my practice incorporating eco conscious ethical Art and design philosophy. Artisan based design ranges are becoming increasingly popular with many people wishing to save the planet from unnecessary pollution. Materials and themes are vintage or vintage retro where ever possible following my Art and design philosophy. My aspirations are about developing vintage inspired embroidered, patchwork, woven embellished, printed fabrics, lace lacer cut out fabrics for fashion and interiors for industry using illustrations to express how they can be used. Entwining beadwork, photographic prints, rock crystals, metal work and antique materials to evoke an opulent style. My main ideology is to create a coherent identity as a working designer exploring other Art and Design disciplines and combining these into my work to create more interest and uniqueness. I like working within different Art and design disciplines to engage with the Arts World developing a broad design discipline across the Art and Design industry, incorporating a Gallery approach to my continuing practice. Pushing the boundaries of fine Art disciplines, by incorporating art installations akin to fashion and interior design. My design themes for my Autumn/Winter 2018 include Migration- including modern art influences,19th -20 th Century Arts and crafts, decalage vintage /romantic fusion. Taking contextual themes within seasonal contemporary fashion directions, developing distressed finishes, faded flora’s , hazy blooms/Bucolic Tapestries, Folk Art, 50’s foliage. Developing designs with a montage of fashion eras and inspirations. My masters would be a time for me to indulge in personal creative urges previously encountered and a forever wishful awareness of art and design. I would like to follow on from my MA Design course to work freelance as a designer within broader design disciplines and would pursue a PHR in Illustration /fashion /Costume .While continuing part time teaching of Art and Design and general cover work.
