Two books to look out for
Have got these two great books from the library as research and enjoyment . One by Bradley Quinn Textile Designers at the Cutting Edge 2009 Laurence King Publishing is split into two sections Body and Space and features 36 of the cutting edge designers of our time . In particular Natalie Chanin who recycles t shirts into high end fashion embellishing stitching and hand dyeing them and has moved from New York back to her home town and created a whole home industry in Alabama using local labour . The Project Alabama and her blog are fascinating reading . Something else to look into further after the MA.I do want to investigate the upcycling of unwanted or discarded table linens more . Also Hil Driesson ( there is such a lot of excellent Dutch Design around) who is a textile designer who also works with glass metal and ceramics. My favourite piece of hers is a wall mounted vinyl sheet with a raised stitch tree with a background shadow of real trees .
