Seamless Tubes

Wrapping with tubular forms created from single flat surfaces

.....The Butterfly.....

I took on this Wool project with the aim of incorporating the recycling of materials.

Like many wool knitted garments, they are seamless.

I have revisited this idea of tubular garments by dissecting and recycling wool, creating new garments from flat surfaces.

Sometimes we take things for granted...

Transforming ordinary objects such as cups into ornamental objects, revealing their delicate beauty which we ignore.

This was my first illustration that launched this project, as I was initially revolving around the idea of illusion and its fluidity.

Experimenting with the illusion of fabric via smocking to create depth and stretchability to the material.

Visualising Photoshop

Oh the wonders of photoshop.

The following are part of my digital visualising project during my 2nd year at Curtin.

Using basic shapes, colours and skills, I have learned how to render various materials and apply that to illustrations.

I love Photoshop!

This project required students to explore, investigate and re-examine specific sites of Fremantle.

I focused on the interaction of nature on Fremantle's beaches. Experimenting with plastic sheets and Barisol material, my project moulded around the idea of mapping the movement of water and its interaction with light.
