"I am fascinated by the nostalgia of historical interiors. This collection of work addresses themes of a lost world of decoration; the 18thcentury, a period in history which witnessed changing attitudes in society and a time of great optimism in contrast to the rigid moral conformity.
Interiors were outrageous in their ornamentation; a reflection and testimony to the opulence and foreign influences of the time. I look to recapture the essence of this period through ornate hand piercing, embellished textures and colours which reflect this romantic fussiness of grandeur.
This collection adorns the body with an heir of antiquity. It looks to narrate the relationship between changes in history, the influence it had on attitudes of the time and how this in turn is witnessed through the interior domain"
