Impression

‘Impression’ explores the self-organisation theory of dreaming; how the subconscious mind works as a system to process thoughts, emotions and experiences through combining random elements of each into a seemingly continuous narrative. This is established through the juxtaposition of structural and architectural design elements with organic and textural elements, representing the structure of the conscious mind and the fluidity and unpredictability of the unconscious mind, and how the boundaries between the two are blurred. The entire collection is also entirely made from deadstock, second-hand, and repurposed fabrics, yarn, and trims; an indication of my ethics and my mindfulness toward sustainable design practices.
