The idea is to enliven public urban spaces using the power of textile
design and processes. Heavily influenced by traditional interior
textiles, my aim is to find a new approach to using these textiles and
free them from the constraints of button backed chairs and window
treatments. Combining these ideas together has resulted in the
upholstered bench. I weave the fabric myself from strong cotton with
copper and silver metal yarns. The metal will tarnish and patinate over
time creating new patterns and colour. I wanted to make something that
will not stay the same, that will change with it’s environment sustain
interest. I use existing benches and create the fabric specifically for
them.
Working with an area such as Chumleigh Gardens would provide a wealth of
design inspiration. I would create a fabric to echo the history and
range of garden styles and as the gardens naturally change, so will the
bench.
