Inspired to knit by nature! (a sampler based on a pattern from nature)

I’ve been walking with Suffolk wildlife trust to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI) where the Snakes Head Fritillary  grows.

Knitted checkerboard sampler block

Snakes head Fritillary design

The beautiful checkerboard pattern of this flower has inspired me….I’ve made a sampler. Maybe it can be used with a child’s cardigan or cushion-cover theme?

About Art with textiles

I am an emerging artist and a final year Textiles degree student with the Open Collage of the Arts, living in Torrevieja, SE Spain. I have always been interested in human identity and the way in which people relate to each other and their environment. My practice currently explores Torrevieja’s rich, diverse and changing multicultural landscape through the metaphors of fragmentation, homogenisation and cultural porosity. Colour is my primary method of visual communication, and I have a particular interest in the weaving and the adaption of traditional techniques to reflect hybrid cultures. I am also concurrently involved in a collaborative project with a data analyst to visualise audio recordings taken from around Torrevieja. I hope that my practice can provide insight into the relationship between identity and place, whilst celebrating diversity, our individual and shared identities.
