Celebrating Feminine Diversity.<br />
Inspired by the 2017 women's marches I felt empowered to create a<br />
collection that reflected the diversity of women worldwide and prompted<br />
equality. I collected imagery of strong and powerful historical women to<br />
inspire my work and looked at reinterpreting this through my use of colour<br />
and materials. This gave a contemporary feel to traditional hand techniques,<br />
which historically has been associated as women work, and therefore<br />
sometimes overlooked as a lesser skilled discipline. I used unconventional<br />
materials such as clay and elastic to convey the stitching.<br />
To reflect the traditional imagery I looked at over adorned, stereotypically<br />
feminine objects such as clothes, jewellery and hair which created unusual<br />
3D embellishments that gave structure and movement to the textiles, and<br />
gave a very contemporary feel to traditional techniques/references.<br />
