Description:

From Memphis to Lego

A fascination with the primary colouration, shapes and structures of Lego blocks has been the inspiration for my collection of multimedia fabrications, exploring knit, laser cut vinyl and paper constructed textiles. Lego’s system of colourful interlocking plastic blocks has inspired my knitted garment collection of interchangeable and modular shapes to customise each garment to personal specifications
