Focusing on material contrast, my work brings together two opposing materials: stone and silk. I have been inspired by Artists Henry Moore and Eduardo Chillida who work predominantly in stone. I curated set up from Stone objects I have in my home. This project explores the contradiction that forms the base of my designs, with rough textured stone juxtaposed with lightweight silk.

The relationship between the lightness of the material and the contrasting properties of the subject creates an airy object with bold imagery.

The multipurpose quality of the silk scarf means that the designs can be hung on a wall to be seen as a whole or can adorn the body where only fragments of the image are displayed. These scarfs are designed to last, I hope to encourage slow fashion as opposed to fast.

The scarves are abstract and expressive and hold multiple contrasts, at once fragile and robust, yet soft whilst appearing rough.
