Textural pieces, dresses with main media being batik and dried PVA glue.
The designs of these dresses were influenced by the role of women during wartime Britain from 1914 to 1918. The bodices are reminiscent of nurses' uniforms, such as those in the VAD organisation. These ideas are synthesised with contemporary works from artists sch as Jordan Eagles, who uses dried blood in his stunning yet sinister pieces. Overall, the message can be interpreted as a celebration of female war effort in times of such vicious bloodshed.
