END OF YEAR SHOWCASE -Class Of 2020

Macrame madness. A2 exam outcome. Photos with technical support from Dave Merritt. Thanks x

Shadows can be very inspiring for further development as prints perhaps.

Such beautiful sunshine out there as we are in lockdown and isolation, thinking what I can use these for. Getting my machine out, happy creative isolation!

Got my work selected for the Millfield Summer Show exhibiting now. Come and visit, some great work this year!

Rusted and naturally dyed fabrics from salvaged and scavenged materials found on daily walks, plotting the ancient field boundaries. Visual diary. Slow-stitched cloth. Recording traces and tracks.

Gestural marks, fluid and expressive. Enjoying overlaying inks and acrylics with potential to print scaled up marks?

Exploring composition in this textiles piece created from hand dyed indigo vintage linens and painted papers and cloth. The palette and angular composition respond to studies of a bright yellow skip, tarnished and ravaged by the weather and covered in marks created by nature. Wiggly, insect tracks, rusting and graffiti inspired colour, texture and piecing the final outcome.

A level costume design exploring the theme of ‘Birds’ exploring the darker side of these winged creatures, inspired by Alexander McQueen’s exhibition ‘Savage Beauty’ at the V&A. An innovative use of materials such as bin liners and interfacing to create an ethereal, feathered quality in a series of cropped capes.

Great photo shoot with technical support from Dave Merritt.

END OF YEAR SHOWCASE- CLASS OF 2020

Congratulations Tallulah Stringer!

Amazing, conceptual Textiles project exploring Veganism and the meat industry, showcased as a powerful installation by Tallulah. She has experimented with knit, crochet, use of latex, printing and dissolvable stitched forms in her sculptural approach. A passionate and disturbingly beautiful outcome.

Well done, such a pity this couldn’t be exhibited publicly this year!

Tallulah is continuing her creative development at Strode specialising in Photography and also in contrast she is also very good at Maths.

Excellent model and expert technical guidance and photography from @catherinehydephotography and also T. Stringer.

Out and about gathering visual research for future projects. Grids and nets to start the journey. Once you start looking you can’t stop seeing!

Hello everyone!

A cheery little face appeared in my experimental mark making today. planning the next stage now to explore composition and get my machine cranked up.

Thanks 

Sooo these are the current product designs showing the development of patterns on various products that could be sold in a gallery gift shop or in this case an outdoor theatre, hence the use of umbrellas, cushions and lampshades for the cafe bar perhaps.
