About
Textile student at Heriot Watt
Inspired by the retro board game “Misfits” and stories of tricksters from different cultures - I have created a set of light-hearted, fun, wacky reversible cushions that evoke fond memories of childhood. The cushions are sprinkled with tongue and cheek references and visuals to spark joy for the viewer. Utilising techniques such as screen printing, hand painting screens, embroidery and riso printing to develop my ideas - I focused on digitally printing my final designs as an arguably more sustainable approach in the way of using less water than other techniques.
