In September 2018, Liberty London, the designer department store, invited artists and designers to upload images of their work to Instagram using #LibertyOpenCall to compete for the chance to have that design used in Liberty fabrics. There were over 5,000 entries and, amazingly, I was selected as one of the four winners. You can see my design and those of the other winners here

Earlier this month I was invited, along with the other winners to visit the iconic Liberty Store in London’s Regent Street to view the Liberty archive and work with Liberty designers to turn our images into fabric designs, to be featured in the Liberty summer collection 2019.
We had a great day. It was amazing how they can take bits of the design and make it work for different products. Liberty will print several test prints from each winner’s design and then their buyers will choose at least one from each artist to develop into Liberty fabric. Really exciting!
The next stage is a visit, later this month, to the Liberty fabric mill, near Milan, to watch our designs transformed into fabric.
