These designs are taken from the macabre group of "The Collector" Project. I have used dark, mysterious colours to symbolise the eerie and sinister feelings aroused when I visited museums exhibiting taxidermy and historical artefacts.

Degree Show

This is a snapshot of what the final outcome of my degree in Textiles has produced... my final degree show!!

i have created 3 2m long by 1.35m wide lengths of silk satin. The idea behind the installation is taken from my 2nd project where I focussed research into decayed natural artefacts and moth-eaten relics.

The final pieces are laser-cut to literally represent the moth-eaten narrative to my work.

the following images are pictures I took last summer (2010). I became fascinated by the summer sky, particularly the colours of sunsets, the eeriness of silhouettes at dusk and the movement of birds in the sky.

These colours offer the perfect colour palette for an atmospheric and sophisticated collection.

The silhouettes of the rooftops and tree from my back garden offer an interesting an eerie skyline

I love the shapes of birds in flight. I wanted to represent this in my project.

The natural cloud formations and subtle colours of the sky helped form the basis of my project.
I decided to call my project "The Sky at Dusk" as I thought it provoked a sense of atmosphere and created a narrative to my work.
