About Me

I enjoy experimenting with a variety of techniques and media, my love in art and design derives from my enjoyment in exploring the qualities of materials, from drawing to contemporary textiles, knitting, embroidery and manipulating materials. I am driven by a personal connection to the work exploring concepts that relate to my own experiences. After attending an open day at Manchester Metropolitan I felt that the work being produced on the course reflected my interests. I like the way the three courses have been combined, giving me the opportunity to explore each of these areas and then progress my work further in the second year. I felt instantly excited at the possibility of being able to develop my work to this level.

Being given the brief ‘Back Yard’ I decided to look at my Grandad’s back garden, thinking of all the memories i have there. I began drawing some of the tools in his shed, focusing on the rust and marks left on them through aging. I embroidered a handle of one of his spades, which was covered in rust and really interesting to draw from.
