Celestial Collections



since 2024
Accessories Celestial Collections

            Celestial Collections is a project where I explore textile print and quilting. It is a project that aims to branch off into accessories and specific elements of historic costume. Quilting and textile print are important to the Celestial Collections project: the textures, sensation and combination of different materials create a kind of vocabulary and sensory language in this project. This project was born out of a need to find peace and pleasure through the combination of different materials and processes.

Following a collaboration with LEZ BAG where we discussed how packaging for his ‘LEZ TIES’ could be high quality and endure rather than be single use. While LEZ BAG made the ties, I created a collection of celestial pouches to house them and ship them out to people.

The LEZ TIE bags were named after different extraordinary celestial phenomena, characters from Star Trek, and Dyke/Lez icons such as Nigella Lawson.
