From a painted flower to a light fitting … Bradford Entry

For my Bradford Competition entry I have decided to create a material suitable for interior use, I wanted to create a light fitting using lightbox film inspired by neon lights based on natural forms .

I am very excited by this project whilst writing this reflective entry I am able to reflect on  the development of this project it is a very good example of not having a fixed outcome at the beginning but to see where the journey goes….

Step 1. Painting of chrysanthemum

Step 2. Machine stitched onto painting
