     Since my return from Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul.I have created a new collection.

2. The work is a continuation of The Beauty Of Poor Materials; the title for my final collection presented at the end of my degree, at New Designers in Islington and Selvedge magazine's shop window London. As I  take time to reflect on my journey through life, starting out as an adopted baby I have become fascinated by IDENTITY... WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?

   For many years my love of finding what are commonly regarded as poor materials, fabrics that have been rejected, the discarded and the overlooked has grown. I over dye, stitch, weave and embroider my finds to create textiles to desire and cherish. My current pieces are numbered with a patch to give them an Identity. They are distinguished as a piece of me and a part of who I have become as an individual artist and designer. © 2015 Kate Whitehead
