‘Through the Eyes of a Child’ tackles the growing issue of the overuse of electronic devices amongst children today by reminding them of their inherent connection with nature and creativity. I experiment with drawing, painting and collage to make my own imaginative imagery. My screen prints and digital designs have child-like, mark making qualities. My work challenges conventional textile surfaces by inspiring children to step away from their screens and interact with my designs through tactile and interactive elements. I emphasise the importance of touch for child development by incorporating raised surfaces through puff, bonding, felting and velcro attachments.
