Debra Boothroyd
During the MA the focus of my practice has transitioned from a specialism in embroidery to woven textiles, although characteristics of embroidery remain a subtle presence in my approach to weave design. My research has centered on a conceptual approach to landscape, using it as metaphor and investigating its different layers of meaning and phenomenological characteristics.
My design process and outcome is inspired and influenced by Japanese design and aesthetics, particularly by conceptual and philosophical elements such as Wabi Sabi, and by way of innovative use of material. My woven textiles are designed to respond subtly with light and shadow, and take on abstract ideas of landscape through their contrasts of surface, colour and texture; expressing mood and atmosphere.
