BA Textile Design students Mimi Forrest, Lily Thornton, Phoebe Sudderick, and Michael Woods devised their own visual data collection using London transport as inspiration for weave and printed textiles. From this, four students were selected by staff from the Museum and Textile Companies to take their designs to the Weaving Futures studio.
Mimi’s work incorporates a variety of media, with concepts inspired by a love of colour, typography and pattern, developed into print solutions which combine a variety of materials and textured surfaces. Mimi has been collecting fragments of conversation whilst exploring Transport for London and using this data as inspiration to create pattern.
