On Sunday I visited The Hill Station Cafe on Telegraph Hill in New Cross. On the outside the building is clad in imagery of local peoples' textiles stories, each annotated with memories and accounts of personal attachments, communicating the emotions embedded within our textiles. It is this relationship and enriching, precious quality that I am interested in exploring and developing within my own textiles work, aiming to create textiles for the future for people to fill full of memories, comfort and emotion. A move away from fast and throw away, towards individuality and slow design.
