'Northern Landmarks' Statement Wallpaper Featuring a Co-ordinate Hellebore Print.

This statement wallpaper was inspired by landmarks of the North East. Hand drawn and screen printed in a two-layer half drop repeat, designed on a textural background. To the left is a 'Hellebore print' repeat design. This was inspired by my trip to Alnwick Gardens where I photographed and sketched a variety of Helleborus plants.

A Combination of Upholstered Cushion Prints.

Back Left: A hand-painted cotton ground with a cyanotype negative block print in a tone on tone colourway. Size: W45XL45cm.
Back Right: A mid-weight linen with a slight slub and soft ground with a large scale two-layer placement screen print on top. Size: W45XL45cm.
Front: A mid-weight cotton drill with a placement cushion design designed by combining texture and markings from the backing cloth in the print room. Size: W57 x L35cm.

'The Garden Urn of Serenity'

This placement piece was inspired by various garden urns placed throughout Alnwick Gardens. This design was curated in the print room to extract the indigo yarn out of this luxurious soft brushed organic denim ground.

Colourways of 'Optimism Beauty' Design.

Influenced by the Art Nouveau Movement including the form of flower stalks and buds, infused with a powerfully rhythmic force, combining the historic with a modern fresh twist. The two designs are two metres in length using a four-layer repeat design method. Two separate colourways hang within this image.

Colourways of 'Penshaw's Landscape' Wallpaper.

Inspiration, taken from Christian Dior's beloved timeless signature Toile de Jouy homeware collection. Curated in the print room that encapsulates Penshaw Monument, Durham Cathedral and the Angel of the North embedded within the landscape.

'The Revolutionary Urn' Statement Piece.

This piece was screen printed onto classic heavy indigo denim with bespoke hand-painted detailing. One of the stand out statements of this collection.

'Northern Landmarks'

A sophisticated linen ground, enriched with illustrative detailing of Northern Landmarks including the Tyne Bridge, the Sage in Gateshead and Tommy, a World War memorial sculpture in Seaham.

Colourways of 'Rose Floribunda'

Designed by using a Cyanotype method. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. I collected foliage and roses from Alnwick Gardens to create this composition. Both designs were curated in the print room by a screen printing process.
