Live Brief: Alice Kettle

Throughout the year, a fellow student and I have been participating in a project with Alice Kettle, both commission based and collaborative. Alice Kettle was asked to create a large-scale textiles piece in order to portray the company Lloyd's Register. They plan to display the work in their new offices as they are relocating from Central London to Southampton. We visited the original site last year in order to collect visual research and have created fabric samples from this. I feel that this opportunity is beneficial because it enables me to work with a successful artist in order to create art intended for an interiors setting, to work in an external setting and to learn new skills concerning print and embroidery.
