‘The Anthotypes flower prints reflect a Romani, Roma or traveler herbal and healing tradition. They are the ghosts of the past-past illness, past days; the shared past territory and daily interaction with non-Roma. I use these prints to create an image which decolonizes memory and knowledge, a contemporary art that by synthesising historical information, portrays new ways of looking at current social issues such as the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill.
I made these prints in response to assimilation; the gradual incorporation of one ethnicity and its culture into another more dominant culture in such a way that the original culture is lost. The original flower image will fade in sunlight leaving only a blank piece of paper as it cannot be ‘fixed’ or held. They are a metaphor for forced or economic assimilation which happens to ‘other’ working, minority and migrant communities all over the world. As the image fades it loses its coherence just as a community which is assimilated loses its identity.

The Loop… @studio_rhythmics

The Loop is an orbital time-telling light fixture within an inhabited space.
Its function resembles much of sun paths and it’s transitions of shadows indicating time; for the Loop, the position on the orbit emulates it, with a full orbital rotation equating to a full day’s passing. The designers aim to infuse time into space, making the telling of time an experience not separate from an encompassed dimension. The gentle indication of time enabled by the Loop hopes to eliminate the potential stressors brought forth by clocks and their unsympathetic numbers, reimagining the relationship between time, space and people.

The project began in 2022 with the first version. After several months of revision and refinement, it is now the third version.

29th May…sewage sewage everywhere and all the boards did shrink…

‘I began this project by exploring patterns in movement, and the variety one movement can have when performed by different dancers. 
As a ballet teacher, I often consider how taught technique and movements can limit creativity and decided to reflect my thoughts in knit. I played with echoing ‘dance phrases’ such as light and weighted, counter pull and contract in knit, which lead me to creating a multi-way garment modelled by the wonderful @matteo.cogliandro_

By allowing each individual to wear the knit how they desire, their range of motion can be natural or very limited.
