What’s in the Water? A series of “Tricksters and misfits”

Inspired by the retro board game “Misfits”, as well as stories of tricksters from different cultures, I have created a set of light-hearted, fun, and wacky reversible cushions to brighten up the home.

Evoking memories of childhood, while sprinkled with tongue-in-cheek references and visuals, I aim to spark joy spark joy for the viewer.

Utilising techniques such as screen printing, hand painting screens, embroidery and riso printing to develop my ideas, I focused on digitally printing my final designs as an arguably more sustainable approach in the way of using less water than other techniques.
