Mapping Floral Imagery through Iconography for Ideation
This project is a series of three short animations investigating themes of personal identity through a design process. The videos capture the design processes to reveal the development of a visual language that articulates cultural hybridity. By reflecting on my own identity, familial migration and histories of a life lived in-between cultures, provide a visual and material framework for this ongoing dialogue.

Each animation focuses on a selected botanical motif; the rose, kangaroo paw and tea leave as forms to explore intercultural identity. These moving images examine experimentation from various points of iteration in my design practice, between graphic, lacquer and metal. These processes and translations in material lead to the development of a visual language that translates into a surface design for the making of jewellery and object-based works.
