Through the Looking Glass
2024
'Through the Looking Glass' is inspired by human interactions with the designed world. Suggestive of the residents behind them, windows provide small insights into an anonymous resident. I have found residential spaces to be intimate and evocative portraits of their inhabitant. Designing for interiors, my concept has heavily influenced the context of my work. I endeavoured to produce a collection of knitted fabrics suitable for contemporary upholstery and home accessories. My process is rooted in reducing the intrinsic stretch of knit, whilst exploiting the structural and technical qualities of knit to produce colourful, graphic outcomes.
