Blessed Unrest’s range of hand printed textiles for interior and fashion products make an immediate impact. The complex and skilled layering of imagery and cI explore hand drawn and photographic motifs, shapes, textures, silhouettes, and marks from the natural and urban environment around me. I record detail, gestural and expressive observations, often repeating the same motif with different tools, materials and cut paper. I expose my imagery onto screen and often combine hand cut stencils and mono print and metallic foil for definition/painterly qualities. Working intuitively with my imagery; layering, covering up and revealing are the core element in my practice. My recent 'Flourish Collection' of hand printed textiles is inspired by many walks in nature capturing the delicate and bold details, silhouettes and shadows of plants, flowers + trees, through photography, drawing and cyanotype. Translated through screen printing to a range of home products using my bold, layering placement print process. I'll be showing a range of wash bags/clutches/purses, cushions & wall hangings, soft storage pots lampshades and small brooch badges, alondside a new range of T-towels and Aprons for 2022.
