i found my 200 words from 2016,,
My collection is based on a broken heart. The concept of escapism as a means of changing my reality combined with the process of ´moving on´ has inspired the collection. Memories are manipulated, colours drain out and time distorts the sensation of love and loss as I discover means of managing my emotions. Through textile techniques this collections aims to visualise the matter of the mind in the break up process.
This project is a personal exploration of lost love and the techniques developed reflect a journey of self help. Through research into the ´10 step process´ and Jean Tinguely, a sculpture who's work is self destructive I have developed pattern cutting techniques to reflect the process of ḿoving on´. Using drawing as a form of therapy my designs have evolved alongside my emotions as I discover methods of escaping my reality and coming to terms with my feelings of heart break.
