My final project explores the concept of illusion through controlled mark making and alternative printing processes, in contribution to the ongoing relationship between design and us. Taking inspiration from angular architecture and streetscapes, initial drawing encouraged me to experiment with alternative mark making techniques such as spray paint. These working methods developed a thorough research of material manipulation, and allowed for a chance to incorporate multi-dimensional design work which further compromises the viewer’s perception. 

Thoughtful making is an important component in my practise and is at the forefront of this collection. The collection aims to trick the eye and influence the viewer to question the dimensional qualities of the pieces. This design work includes two-dimensional printing processes made for the purpose of conversation and connection, and select pieces explore the relationship between colour, light and form, by manipulating cloth. For the purpose of interior textiles, this collection consciously caters to the unique relationship one has with place, home and environment.
