Freya Williams Self-Promotion - About Freya

I asked Freya to briefly explain to me what her work was about and send me some examples of her best and favourite bits of work, this is what she provided me with:

I have had a keen interest in textiles throughout e​​​​​​​​education. Natural texture and historic methods particularly drove my studies. Historic technique and methods, for example, natural dyeing and stitch were of a big interest to me. Techniques of developing and recreating surfaces were a good part of my interest and development during GCSE and A-levels. There is an obvious connection between this and my uni work level 4 onwards. From level 5 I have continued to develop these interests but also a focus on colour and culture.















It seems to me that Freya doesn't have a particular way of working that she specialises in given the various different aesthetics of the work she showed me, so it doesn't seem particularly necessary to use any particular process within the production of her self-promotion.

A lot of of her work is florally based, so using light pastel colours in her promotion would reflect the feminine nature of much of her work.

She seems to like presenting her work with someone holding it, wearing it, or it being ready to be unwrapped, all things which result in it being touched. It'd be fitting to include some fabric samples because of this.
