Laura Slater

I can really relate to the abstract markings Slater creates on her products. I feel her drawings have a childs-play approach,  something I hope my own work captures. The placement of the markings works really well. Placement is very important in my own work, thinking about the arrangement of photography, collage and drawing.  


The layering of the shapes and textures works really effectively. I like the mix of solid shapes, textured shapes and also the transparency of some of the shapes. Layering is a great way of involving more content into the design without making it look all 1 dimension and too crowded. 





I really like how although each cushion is fairly bold, they work together perfectly and compliment one another. 




"Our specific interests lie in engagement with pattern and it’s ability to connect us to the environments around us. This is explored through approaches to drawing, process, materials and product".
