Flight Through the Clouds | Linocut translated into silk scarves and textiles
Dress Sewn by The Stitchist, Alison Blackburn
A fleeting cloud, captured in print and transformed into form.
Starting as a drawing, the design was translated into a linocut, hand printed into an edition, and then developed into a textile motif. The motif was worked into a pattern and printed onto sheer organza, transforming the original image into a voluminous, dreamlike dress.
Created in Folkestone through a collaboration between print, pattern and dressmaking, this piece is part of a wider web of local creativity — connecting place, process, materials and people.
The silhouette was developed in collaboration with The Stitchist, Alison Blackburn, to evoke the softness, movement and weightlessness of a cloud, while the printed design connects the dress back to the original linocut.
The cloud designs have also been transformed into the Flight Through the Clouds linocut silk scarves, bringing together British coastal inspiration and linocut art in an elegant, wearable form.
A single idea, carried through many hands and forms.
November - HICCE Hangzhou
Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Expo 20th Anniversary showcase. For the second year my art will be showcased in the European and International section of the show. Representing the UK and the theme of 'Garden' showcase of linoprints, digital artworks and textiles will be curated alongside Kew Gardens and other brands. Live printing and video of the design process will be projected, engaging visitors. Last year, the show had 50,000 and engaging children and adults in linoprinting at the stand. I hope to collaborate with brands, galleries and museums on bespoke linoprints and products, events and exhibitions.

15-17th September - Showcase in Shoreditch Design Week | Partner of London Design Festival.
This year I exhibiting in House of ICON, Shoreditch Town Hall as part of Shoreditch Design Week, the largest official district of London Design Festival. I showcased my large-scale linocuts, 'Folkestone to Dover', alongside last years 'Folkestone West Sunset', and my collection of linocut silk scarves and bespoke textiles. Inspired by the British flora, fauna and coastline, my work combines traditional printmaking with bold colour and expressive pattern, creating pieces that celebrate the character, texture and stories of the places that continue to shape my practice. I met a lot of wonderful people, creatives and interior designers at the show and in discussions about bespoke artworks and textiles that create a woven narrative of handcrafted detail and texture.
