I am a textile designer, artist and teacher, inspired by collaboration, experimentation and the fusion of craft skills and new technology.
Woven light is my range of ground breaking light reactive woven textiles for interiors
These fabrics are white until they are exposed to sunlight, when colour and pattern is magically revealed. The sunlight also charges the textile, so it glows in the dark.
I have created a range of products for interiors, including backdrops, cushions and upholstry fabrics that constantly respond to the natural environment, interacting with the changing light of the days and seasons.
What's new?
Glow Birds
This new glow in the dark was installation created for the Puff and Flock stand
Designersblock at 100% Design, Earls Court, London Design Festival 2009
The stand and the work were sponsored by
Toray create high end performance fabrics for a range of sport and safetly applications
Who are Puff & flock?
We are a collective of 8 textile designers bound by a shared vision for the future textiles. We work as an exploratory laboratory and far from the common perception of textile designers as girls who draw flowers, we are individuals who integrate aspects of material science, fine arts, academic research, storytelling, and product design into our practice.
November sees us as part of the Canary Wharf Window Gallery Program, which platforms new artists and designers each month, exhibiting two window displays in the Canary Wharf Shopping Centre. 1st - 28th November.
Then we will be developing new work for the exciting Designersblock collaboration showcase next January at Interiors Birmingham. 24th - 27th January 2010.
