Dawn Dupree

Since the lecture based on composition that I had on Monday I have had a look at the work of some of the artists and designers mentioned. I particularly like the work of Dawn Dupree who has been creating textile art since 1990. I like the bold colorful semi-abstract prints she creates, I especially like her work based on a shopping trolley and her range of ‘domestic’ cushions. I think her work is original, unusual and vibrant.

I like to know what inspires people and on http://www.themaking.org.uk/Content/makers/2007/09/dawn_dupree.html Dawn Dupree says 'I like urban wastelands and empty spaces which have once been very busy or are about to be busy – they have a strange anticipatory, slightly loaded atmosphere that I like to express in my work' which I find very interesting.

The images below are taken from http://www.dawndupree.com/domestics.html#and are two of the cushions from Dawn Dupree's domestic range which i particularly like.
