'Sway' fabric collection

Petals, strung together

The brief for this project was based on movement within nature, in particular, a 'swaying' type of movement. The inspiration behind these fabric samples is petals strung together. I wanted to capture the delicate nature of the petals and the lightness of their movement. Each strand in the design is wound and contracted by hand and then stitched together to create a very subtle and frail surface.
