FROM THE JUDGES
The Sanderson design group is pleased to award Caitlin with a 12-month internship within the Morris and co studio. Caitlin was chosen due to her inspirational portfolio. We were impressed with her ability to develop original artwork in new mediums and techniques, alongside the use of inspiring colour combinations and strong CAD skills. We were delighted to see her passion for her craft and we are looking forward to welcoming her within the design studio.
OVERVIEW
We would like to see hand painted artwork which may include a variety of media of your choice such as screen prints, gouache, oils, lithographs, weaving and collage. Push yourself to try new mediums and techniques that you haven’t done before. Your explorative artworks must then be built into a surface pattern design for interiors resulting in at least one standout ‘signature’ design alongside two co-ordinating pieces.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Caitlin Stracey’s project focuses on biophilic design, bringing the outside in to create natural sanctuaries inside the home. Her designs display richness and depth in colour with bright pops grounded with earthier, darker tones and she has added detail and handmade touches in motifs. Leading her to produce designs for luxurious and bespoke spaces for consumers.
