Carolyn’s work is influenced by her surroundings, her
travels around the world & her interests in the beliefs and religions of
the many cultures she has visited.
Originally a graphic designer she later studied textiles. These disparate inspirations form a very
eclectic approach to surface design.
She uses natural fabrics, mixed media and recycled
objects; recycling in unusual ways, seizing the discarded and looking at it
afresh. Exploring different medium her
work has branched out – embellishing hard and soft surfaces but retaining her
certain graphic sensibility.
Suited.
The tailors’ workshop was started in the late 1800’s.
Considering the periods of wars and depressions that these generations of
tailors saw I have recycled these remnants of suiting alongside other worn
men’s tailored clothing as might have been done during those years of hardship
to make home and living more comfortable.
