‘Floral Escapism’ is a collection centred around floral photography and capturing the beauty of flowers, designed for both women’s scarves and shirts. It is a digitally printed textiles collection focusing on the journey that the pandemic has taken our emotions on. The collections and designs reflect upon the pandemic and represent the variety of emotions that have been bought upon us. From the dark, intense and negative times, to the brightness of slowly getting back to normal and seeing that there is light at the end of this.
Focusing on nature, I wanted to consider my impact on the environment and so have used all recycled fabrics throughout my print sampling and within my final work. Another way I considered sustainability within my practise is through the sourcing of flowers to photograph. Fiona’s Florist in Walsall kindly provided me a wonderful array of flowers. They were ones that they could no longer sell but were still in perfect condition for me to use within my work and so prevented them from going to waste.

Wolverhampton School of Art Graduate Showcase 2021
We are delighted to announce our end of year graduate showcase highlighting the work of our final year students in Art, Design and Screen based subjects.
Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
