Hannah Bullen

As a textile designer, Hannah has developed a range of distinctive fabrics inspired by structure and constructed formations. Her level of risk- taking and use of multi-media have produced innovative, visually exciting and distinctive tactile designs. She has developed a unique way of working off the loom, hand construction to create woven pieces. This allows her work to seamlessly flow where otherwise be constricted if I chose to work on-loom and questions the approach to the traditional concept of weaving. She loves exploring and altering the copper mesh and copper sheet, whether is it is embossing or colouration. Her woven techniques are simple but the choice of material and combination of different manipulations excel once put together. The combination of the textures of the mesh and the copper sheet produce a beautiful contrasting effect, especially when the pieces have light reflecting off them. Her experimentation with metallics continues to break boundaries in the interior market. These three pieces are part of a larger collection.
