The aim of Cloth Work MA in Textiles is to explore
process and technique and develop new possibilities for the application of
felt making, embroidery and print.
Through textile exploration
I have developed a strong personal process using feltmaking. The result of this
exploration is a strong graphic quality that evokes/mirrors
knit and weave.
A quality that can be
further developed and enhanced by the application of stitch and partnership
with print.
I am conscious that the key
fibre used in feltmaking is merino wool imported primarily from the southern
hemisphere. I aim to find alternatives, to shift the focus and challenge a
dependence on imported fibre.
