Final 2 outcome
The dark green moss was not trimmed in large areas, leaving the texture of the original wool to look like the untouched, natural beauty of the moss. I trimmed different light colours of moss with different techniques to create different effects, combining different shades of green wool to bring out the layers and vibrancy of…

Final 2 design
In my previous photographs, the moss would grow in different colours in different places, so I selected different shades of green to match each other and layer on top of each other. In addition to the various greens that are the colour of the moss, I also added three browns that represent the land.

Final 1 outcome
To reflect the urban architecture, I used grey and black non-woven fabrics as the main background, cutting them into similar sized shapes and piecing them together in an orderly fashion, like the bricks and cement that make up the buildings, but without the hardness, keeping the overall soft and warm atmosphere.

Course workshop – Paper installation
During the course workshop, we were asked to make an installation out of paper, and I tried to work with just monochrome paper, which was the inspiration for Come Home Again.
