Emily Wood

Collection

LAYNE

For my thesis project, I have decided to focus on the concept of process art, where the act of creation remains visible and essential to the final work. I will be using my own artistic process for painting as inspiration.
The concept of "making" and the joy it brings is a central theme, and I hope my commitment to transparency in the creative process will resonate with viewers. This collection will serve as a reminder that art is a dynamic and evolving process, and it invites wearers to become a part of the artist's journey.
