Reimagining the Archive

When visiting St Fagans I took inspiration from the Wallpaper Samples in the Gwalia Storeroom. One sample in particular looked stitched; this made me want to investigate modern textures in wallpaper. Through searching around the site I became fond of the Maestir School and the new objects I spotted each time walking in. After researching what each meaning was behind the objects I decided to focus on the school. I found myself using dots throughout my initial drawings with French knots, beads and puncturing the paper for interesting ways to decorate the paper. It wasn’t until I researched an artist playing with folds and stitch that I found the process I loved and wanted to develop. This project kickstarted my design style of creating textured wallpapers.
