This year I am entering my work into the D&AD New Blood Awards for the Make your mark brief. I had to think of something which made me different to everyone else.
I believe my craft skills make me different from others along with the handmade feel. Being able to pick something up and feel the textures and look closely at the details is something important to me. This 'book' named 'The fabric of my life' opens up to be a patchwork wall hanging. It includes 21 squares, each pattern related to what I wore on each one of my birthdays.
This book is unique to myself. The loose stitching style I have used give the feel of imperfection, something which reflects myself.
No-one is perfect!
The back of the book includes a pocket which inside holds a key to the patchwork. Explaining each pattern and its relevance to myself.
