Chloe Andrews
Chloe is a printed textiles graduate adopting an illustrative style with a strong affiliation to colour. Her design inspiration takes many forms, ranging from decorative archives to the beauty found within the mundane.
'Swedish Escape' is an exuberant interior collection that dances the line between fantasy and reality. Bringing the outdoors into the home, enchanting scenes from the Swedish landscape are celebrated in colours undetectable to a camera lens. The ‘tree’ acts as a central focus; dating back to early Scandinavian mythology and symbolising life. Other elements of Swedish folk art have been re-imagined in a dynamic mix of bold brushstrokes, textures and unique patterns. The prints exude a sense of tranquillity in a world that struggles to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the magnificence and simplicity of nature. A combination of screen print and digital outcomes on varying fabric weights showcase interesting repeat structures, whilst signature statements provide a fresh and modern Scandinavian interior accent. Following a placement year working at five different companies, Chloe intends to expand upon her skills attained throughout her degree in a print designer role.
