With a Fairy Hand in Hand
Growing up in the Highlands, I spent my childhood foraging, running around with no shoes on, looking for fairies by the river at the bottom of the garden, in the nooks of trees, under flowers, and in doing so, discovering little worlds that I call home. Through my final year project, I am striving to capture this magic and mystery from my childhood. I have drawn inspiration from the natural world that helped raise me as well as the movies and literature that shaped the way I saw it.
I have created a series of interior collections that created a luxurious yet homely feel in a domestic environment by exploring a range of print techniques that capture the atmospheric nature of my project. The intention for my work is to convey the feeling of being a child, in awe of the magical, natural world around you, with a focus on creating a sense of wonder and wellbeing in the home.
