Reconnect to Nature: An investigation into sustainable printed textile processes and how creators embody Biophilic Design principles to stimulate wellbeing within a space
Emily King, MA Design Practice, 2024

 

 

Abstract

 

​Emily King examines how designers develop sustainable textile design processes to encourage reconnection to nature and stimulate wellbeing. This paper critically underpins the group exhibition EXTEND shown at Kirkleatham Museum from January 2024 – June 2024 in which Emily presented a practice-based research inquiry showing sustainable development of printed fabrics through photography and painting, investigating colour, texture, and pattern design.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
