Phiona Richards creates interactive book sculptures and intriguing jewellery using traditional needlework techniques.
“Having been brought up with a ‘make do and mend’ mentality I tend to collect and gather materials including books near the end of their existence and regenerate them into pleasing tactile structures using a variety of needlework techniques. Although they appear to be fragile and delicate they are quite robust and interaction becomes a therapeutic experience on many sensory levels.”
Phiona Richards trades as Rare Notions and is one of Design-Nation’s Fellows.
