What is home?

‘What is home?’ Having lived in 5 different places over the past year, I started to question what made a home. In my questionings of what is home? I began to collate my electric interpretations and different aspects of what home is to me, creating my own world of curiosities.

Inspired by the simplicity of Scandinavian design, and playfulness of children’s narrative illustration and expressive art styles, this project explores combing the styles with my theme, threw the exploration of simple line, shape, mark-making & words, to create a collection of illustrations, patterns and surfaces for children’s lifestyle and home, which help create a calming atmosphere whilst intriguing curiosity and fuelling the imagination.

Inspired by narrative paper craft, the project starts to explore the potential of these designs to create layered designs and innovative products by using materials such as wood, printed acrylic and light.

Home Home means a collection of me, It’s everything I love espically tea!

Home is a place I like to stay, It’s my comfort & calm, day to day.

Home is an expression of me, It’s my space to play, and be free.

Home is my very own Gallery, It’s my experiences, my memories.

The exploration and research in this project is the inspiration starting point for my next project, The Bkuskunst Light Box. I’m focusing on developing one product range, and developing my illustrations and patterns further to create a series of boxes which layer laser cut wood and printed acrylic with light, to build up scenes and illustrations.
