Oh my goodness, what I fantastic lecture. This one, I felt, was very different to any that I've been to before - Charlotte is a writer, who just happens to work in the design field (but also has to do other jobs to "pay the bills") so her talk was filled with so much inspiring work from artists and designers that work with the concept of wallpaper.
It really helped me change my focus, and brings me away from the idea of wallpaper having to be repeat, and that they too - just like in the fashion world - could be bespoke pieces or mass produced on a roll. It was a real eye-opener, and will really influence my future practise.
From about the age of 15/16 I've known that I've wanted to work in interiors, mainly with the idea of designing wallpaper (that's just been my ultimate goal, even though I was never entirely sure if that could be someones actual profession - obviously, now I know it can, and that's fantastic!)
I really like the idea that wallpaper design could be a piece of art in it's own right, and isn't just about a print on paper and it doesn't have to be for a mass production market. It can be completely individual, lone standing and still utterly beautiful - whether that is in a single drop hanging by itself, or in a large piece that fits across a whole wall. I'm certainly very inspired by this morning's lecture - I'm booked into the print room tomorrow and I can't wait to get experimenting with this new inspiration!
