Project: Wilding Festival banners
Description: I wrote a story for the banners which was a fairy tale - an allegory about domestic abuse. This seemed appropriate as the festival was created to celebrate the centenary of suffragette, Emily Wilding Davison’s death at the Grand National horse race.
I had created my own typeface and I used this for the project. This was the first time I used 3D software to create 2D graphics. I wanted to create intricate buildings and structures to put on top of my kaleidoscopic maps I had created to pitch to Liberty London.
These were printed onto silk satin. They hung in the central hall of the church, on either side of the stage.
Had some Merrythought Bears sampled with my silks.
