My designs are influenced by a lifelong interest in basketry, weaving and knotting and I have made these traditional techniques the foundation of my practice.
In designing this collection I imagined myself marooned on a desert island, with only the skills I have amassed and the materials around me for inspiration; echoing the essential simplicity and practicality of these ancient methods.
I have knotted and bound the flotsam and jetsom of the shoreline; The flora and fauna of the jungle have been woven together.
These bags are reworkings of traditional forms: steeped in artisan lore, respectfulof classic materials, but contemporary in their simplicity and practicality.
