Flow and Flourish

Flow and Flourish is Aimee's final degree show collection.

1: Briefly outline what your project is about?
Aimee’s project, ‘Flow and Flourish’, captures forest bathing and wellbeing walks in an immersive display of sensory textiles. Combining biophilic design, and colour psychology, this work translates Aimee’s creative state of flow into beautifully wild artwork fit for public installations, mood boosting fashion prints, and playful interiors, encouraging feelings of calm, comfort and wellbeing.

2: What drives your practice?
For her own wellbeing, Aimee is inspired by humanity’s symbiotic relationship with the natural world, and how nature can heal and repair our minds and bodies as we take care of it as a community. Driven by her experience as a Nurse during Covid, Aimee wants others to feel a sense of belonging and feel cared for, as they explore her immersive and tactile work.

3: What do you love most about being a surface pattern and textiles designer?
Weaving the joy that Aimee feels when she creates, into designs that bring joy to wear, live in and experience, is what Aimee loves most about being a surface pattern designer. If, through her work, she can make you to feel like that happy sigh when your toes first touch the sandy beach, or when you surround yourself in a carpet of bluebells in spring woodlands, she feels she has done her job well.
