Tom Abbiss Smith is an illustration graduate from Norwich University of the Arts, UK. He explores shape and form to produce abstract designs and illustrations that are frequently applied as surface pattern design to clothing, homeware products, packaging, posters and accessories. On an interview with Find Liaison he says this about inspiration: “It’s probably going to sound very cliche, but everything I see around me on a daily basis. If you really look around you and observe, there are beautiful textures, shapes, colors, etc. everywhere. I love that there is the possibility to reappropriate all of these things into artwork. Nature is perhaps the most prominent inspiration to my work, however. There’s so much variation when looking at it, and that excites me a lot.â€
The ethereal embroideries shown above are the works of Japanese embroidery artist Yuri Miyazaki. A graduate of Kanzawa University she started embroidery painting around 2014 producing many pieces for solo exhibitions. She works primarily on translucent fabric with a loose stitches resembling ink sketches on paper.Â
More of her work can be seen on her website (in Japanese) and on Instagram. Â
French artist and designer Jennifer Hugot generates images by strip cutting, gluing and braiding paper. She is inspired by her surroundings, architecture and forms of nature. Her knowledge of textile design is visible in the colors, patterns and weaving of the cut paper pieces. The four designs on top was a coordinated effort with art director and photographer Daniel Forero.
