Grounding explores the power of your sense of touch to feel the earths energy. The sensation of earth brings a personal focus and presence to the mind. The soil beneath tells a story when you touch it, it’s not science but a feeling, of how old it is, how alive it is, what’s it been through and how it keeps giving back to us. OUT OF THE EARTH reflects my personal connection, and respect for the soils impact. Through earth painting patterns began to emerge that reflected the appearance of roots, rivers, geology maps or the human brain. This collection uses these natural and organic patterns, going against how pattern is normally on the loom to make materials that move organically. Using chunky and delicate materials like high twist wool, paper, and rough spun khadi wool, which are playful and energetic. The aim is to create woven pieces that are raw, textural, and ethereal, both for fashion and interior uses.
