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.

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.
