W is for wallpaper

We visited the 'W is for wallpaper' exhibition at the Ruthin craft centre in Wales. The exhibition was hugely inspiring and enjoyed seeing the designs on a large/ professional scale.
                                                                   Timorous Beasties
                                                                     Daniel Heath
                                                                    Eley Kishimoto

All the wallpapers showed great craftsmanship and beautiful designs. The one I was most pleased to see was Daniel heaths Onyx Skyline print. After attending his guest lecture in level 5, I have been inspired by his work since and love the structure of his hand printed designs.
 
 
We also visited Rachael Kelly's artist in residency studio, she explained her designs and the process of this. By sticking pre cut vinyl shapes on the walls she then got some of us to help and add foil over this using double sided adhesive creating various layers.
 
The trip really inspired me and thought it was great to see work from other practitioners up close. It made me think further about my practice and broadened my mind to think about other context ideas and after graduation.
