Preconception

This work developed from research into how quotidian objects can be used as a representation of self-perception, growth and identity. It was created as a using wire and thread representing strength and fragility and symbolises an analogy of the self. Forming part of my BA (Hons) Textile Practice degree at Bradford School of Art 2026, stimulating the audience to consider why we have assumptions and preconceptions and the reasoning behind them.
