About till designs
As a Tasmanian based artist, I feel blessed to be living in place surrounded by landscapes of stunning beauty. I am personally drawn to explore these places and create designs inspired by the shapes, forms and colours of the natural world.
Till designs was created to show case my textile designs in a variety of products featuring printed cloth inspired by the shapes and forms found in our natural environment. All the designs are original art works based on my drawings and paintings. The products featured in the range include, cushions, ottomans, table linen, bags, scarves and wall art.”
Creative process
My textile designs are inspired by the forms and patterns found in the natural world. I begin by initially drawing or painting in a large scale. I then work on refining and distilling these initial works, pairing back the shapes to an archetype form. My aim in the design process is to create a sense of the elegance, simplicity, and sustainability.
What inspires me is to bring these shapes and forms into our everyday lives, transforming our living spaces and choice of adornment with pieces of beauty representing the power of the natural world.
Sustainability
I aim to create products that embody sustainability as a key design principle. All pieces are created with quality and longevity in mind. I source organic and natural cloth where possible supporting the sustainable and chemical free agricultural production of our resources.
