Laura Slater

The above photo is Laura Slater’s textile. Pretty awesome print, huh? Laura designs prints that are used in fabricating things like pillows and lampshades. I love illustrated products and believe that they make our lives better. Laura’s viewpoint is similar, from her website:

Informed by the interaction of colour and shape, my design focuses on the translation of drawing and surface through hand printed processes.
My interest lies in our engagement with pattern and its ability to stimulate and communicate our responses, connecting us to the environments around us. I explore this through approaches to drawing, process, materials and product.

Also, if you visit her website, you can get an idea of her process, which first involves development with paper cutting and painting, which is then translated onto fabric.
