Honours Project-
I am developing a range of soft furnishings that are inspired by traditional Scandinavian rag rugs yet combine new technologies. Using recycled fabrics, I weave functional floor rugs which are then photographed and used as inspiration for computer generated designs. By manipulating scale, texture and colour and layering effects, I can produce unique designs that could not be hand woven. These are then digitally printed onto cotton for upholstery and cushions.
These are samples I made on the computer pulling colours out of images. I am trying to decide on a colour palette

Woven Image
shown at the ‘New Perspectives’ exhibition at Tate Liverpool during May and June 2011
By taking two photos of the object from slightly different angles, then weaving the two together gave a new perspective on a well known object. I chose the skipping rope as a valued childhood toy that hasn’t changed over hundreds of years. My piece has brought the skipping rope into a modern age; the weaving effect has produced a pixellation of the image but through an ancient technique.

Ecotrope’s Cassandra Profita found an artist who transforms plastic newspaper bags into lovely home weavings.
It used to be when I looked at a pile of newspaper bags I saw pooper scoopers.
Now, I see colorful window dressings, pillow covers and table runners.

Zoe Murphy
Zoe Murphy is becoming known for her lovely hand printed furniture & textiles, with prints all based around her hometown Margate.
Furniture and fabrics are reclaimed from second-hand (note the 50s furniture & silks unpicked from old wedding dresses) and up-cycled into new designs and pieces. Prints transform run down gloomy British seaside imagery into bright, optimistic fabrics celebrating the seaside!
In Zoes words…
“…a place and a thing that with loving attention and good design, can be brought back to be something beautiful, desired and respected.”
