Welcome to 'Whisper Loudly'

This blog is too enable people to view and witness the engagement I have with textiles and tactile surfaces. I nourish in the richness of print design for both Fashion and Interior design. I find great satisfaction in trialing surfaces against design specifications, a colaberation of a complex print against a simplistic metal, wood or fabric. I use visionary stimulus to generate visual concepts and design productivity. I print these, I place these, I take the journey and re-write the image that is placed in front of me with its own signiture that it is destined to endure. Through weaving and the placement of materials, I can produce contrasts of heavy and light, strong and weak. This process allows the piece to take on its own identity and to be 'dressed' for the part/occasion.

Designs to Production

So you design, you make, you explore.
Then you go forward and visualise how your work interacts with production.
Here I have taken my work to the next level...lets see.....






Architecture Plans and Prints;
My lovely father let me loose in his office/studio. I was fortunate enough to find some interesting plans and images, I was let loos with the photocopy and printer.
I took my findings home and started to play.
I have a real intrest in line and tone, I explored further lines into the plans, and I must say this was a highlight of this priject for me.
Thankyou Daddy and thankyou 'Palladio' youre architect drawings are a true inspiration.





An interest in plug holes...

I have recently had a strange interest in plug holes.
I seem to be drawn to them, I have no idea why, but I seem to enjoy photographing them.
I like plug holes which are mainly featured in sinks.
I have added a few of the pretty little things on here for all to view.

Long and Thin

I have come to the realisation that I like things that are long and thin.....or tall and skinny. Only in a visual sense, and in no refrence to the human body!
Everytime I look at a canvas or board, I instinctivley want to turn it on its head. Is this something I should move away from? or is this another narrative that makes my work 'mine', mmmmmm.....I will ponder.
