Martha Holmes- BA (Hons) Textiles in Practice
Reassembling perspectives
My practice is rooted in surface and textile design, with a particular interest in visual storytelling, pattern development, and the ways design can communicate ideas and experiences. I enjoy exploring how imagery, composition, and material processes can be used to create engaging and thoughtful outcomes, often through experimentation with print, collage, and layered visual approaches.
Throughout my final year, I have increasingly directed my focus towards curatorial practice and gallery exploration, developing an interest in how work is experienced within spaces and how exhibitions can create meaningful connections with audiences. I am particularly interested in the role of curation in shaping interaction, atmosphere, and interpretation.
This project has become an opportunity to bring these interests together, combining installation and spatial thinking with my continued passion for surface pattern and visual design. Through collage and layered processes, I have explored ways of extending pattern beyond a two-dimensional outcome, creating work that exists between surface design and exhibition practice.
