I have always been enticed by the power of storytelling and my collection endeavours to harness that. It arose out of a short story I wrote featuring a group of friends who break into a museum and adorn themselves with the various relics they uncover there. The central illustration motif in the collection is my own interpretation of the Indian Goddess, Durga. This illustration became a digital print which was then sliced and contorted to echo the shattering of precious artefacts. The print tumbles and cascades out of seams as though the wearer is decorated with marble debris. I used pattern drafting as a creative tool to convey articles splintering and have cut, twisted and flared pattern pieces to create uneven form. The curved seams channel the notion of ornaments fracturing around the body.
