MA

I am in the process of applying for an MA in Manchester in Textiles. I want create a completely new aesthetic to embroidery and knit with the use of glass and artificial and natural light which will play on the shadows created by the embroidery. I am passionate about the handmade and traditional techniques. I am quite a vocal person and particularly on political, sociala nd personal issues of today. I want my work to provoke thought and conversation about the concept beneath the layers of stitch knit and glass.

I want to experiment with fusing embroidery within glass, and create life size installations utilizing open space. I want to experiement with wire, metal work and ceramics with embroidery and stitch, and experiement with the before and after processes. 

I am inspired by lace and creating images within the lace using embroidery and knitting techniques. My work is inspired by political and social issues that evoke questions and possibly answers.
