Textiles has become my obsession. I appreciate having the freedom to express my thoughts and ideas through colour, texture and tactile material, where I like to be able to produce an individual atmosphere within my work.
I am interested in Manchester School of Art because of how vast the course is; I will be able to explore new processes and create my own identity through textiles.
