Interpreted

The Interpreted sub-collection marks a transition within the narrative, where traditional floral motifs are translated into pixelated forms and arranged into more structured compositions. Referencing the symmetry and repetition of damask wallpaper, these designs introduce a sense of order and control, shifting the floral motifs from expressive symbols into organised systems.

The process of pixelation draws directly from knitting punch cards, where imagery is broken down into a grid to be mechanically reproduced. By applying this visual language, it extends the technical methodology into the design itself, embedding the logic of knitting within the surface pattern. As a result, the motifs begin to lose their naturalistic qualities, becoming simplified and mediated through structure.

The floriographic references within this stage, including the dicentra, hyacinth and daffodil, suggest a shift in the narrative of femininity. While still rooted in symbolic meaning, these flowers introduce themes of change, resilience and emotional complexity, reflecting a movement away from fixed ideals and towards a more self-defined identity.

The compositions present femininity as something in transition, no longer purely inherited, but actively reinterpreted through systems, structures and processes. This stage is a bridge within the collection, where traditional symbolism is not abandoned, but reworked into a new visual and conceptual language.
