Mollusc Muse is a woven collection that captures the beauty and diversity of seashells, transforming their unique structures and colours into textile art. Inspired by my seashell collection, I explore their intricate patterns and ecological significance through various weaving techniques and natural dyes. This collection celebrates the connection between nature and weave, inviting viewers to appreciate the stories within marine life while inspiring a renewed curiosity about the wonders of our oceans.
