About: As a Contemporary Applied Artist, Danielle explores the unexpected and often unseen beauty in nature and its process of decay. Her work captivates the ambiguity of what is considered beautiful. By mainly focusing on imperfections in nature, the artist independently creates a larger subject matter to explore, discuss and translate using a variety of mediums. Danielle uses detailed drawing as a fundamental process to capture ageing imperfections in organic objects, these are then later developed using a combination of both traditional and contemporary methods. Natural materials such as silk and leather are manipulated and transformed into bespoke theatrical wearable art-pieces. A range of methods including laser cutting, digital printing and water jet cutting enables the artist to create a unique, diverse and visually exciting final outcome.

Recently I had a photo shoot of part of my final piece to put into my portfolio. This is only one section of my final installation that will be exhibited in The Grand Theatre in Swansea. I have been looking at moths and how they eat into clothes, and my installation will reflect this idea. Once everything has been installed, more photos will follow. 

Another scarf design. I prefer this a lot more to my previous designs so will be altering them so that I am 100% happy with them before printing on wednesday.
