What was your route into textile making specifically?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve always done sewing projects, since I was really young. The first one that I can remember was sewing clothes for my cats, when I was probably five.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I did study illustration, but I’ve always done kind of textured stuff. I did some sculpture work, and I also did a lot of textiles, like making quilts, and I also did a lot of storytelling quilts. Not dissimilar to my rugs really, but just in fabric form rather than tufted. Yeah, I think I just like to use materials that are textured, tangible, rather than flat. <\/span><\/p>\n

Right now what is important to us when it comes to Typosers is that it should always present quality design to its community. It is still essential that it acts as a platform where artists and designers can interact, but also come to in order to get inspiration.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of making is the best part<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It adds a new dimension to the work, doesn’t it?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah, and also just the making process I find way more satisfying. I don’t really like painting, I can appreciate a painting, but I’d rather sew than paint myself, It just feels more, I think I just like to do things that are a bit more physical.<\/span><\/p>\n

You make all your pieces by hand. As an artist, why is it important for you to work this way over producing pieces with the help of a machine?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

For me the finished product is such a small part in the process of making art. The most exciting part, for me, is the making of it. If I had, even if it wasn’t mass produced, but if I had a team of people making this stuff, that wouldn’t be the same. I wouldn’t mind help, but if I wasn’t doing the making, that wouldn’t be what I wanted to do. <\/span>The process of making is the best part<\/span> of making a piece of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think studying illustration over textiles made you able to approach producing textiles in an interesting, innovative way?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’m glad I studied illustration, because<\/span> I am still interested in image making<\/span>. That’s what I see illustration as, and I just use textiles, materials, or tangible materials, as we said. I feel if I’d studied textiles, it’s more focused on technique, which is obviously really important, but I think I have enough interest in my own craft to learn techniques myself, without learning through university.<\/span><\/p>\n
