I have found my love for illustration and textiles work amazingly together, as these skills help me to create creative and unique pieces of art that are extremely personal to me. 
Art has always helped me to represent these personal matters in a creative and healthy way. For example this project i have focused on my reality and the beauty in everyday life, i have done this by focusing on my bedroom, a very personal place where i spend most of my time and feel safe and calm. 
My room is decorated and filled by everything that i find beautiful and brings me joy, i physical representation of me as a person. 
Everything in this project has a meaning or purpose, the colours being my favourite colours, the flower being a personal symbol that me and my mum connect with (representing the bond we have and the love i have for her), finally, the textiles and illustration that are great passions for me and are my specialisms that i greatly enjoy working in.]]> 2023-04-24 13:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/u00070957/6x237vzod8fsr4yf/wish/2565701651 u00070957 https://padlet.com/u00070957/6x237vzod8fsr4yf/wish/2565718510 I experimented with monoprint, i used simple images of flowers and my polaroids.
