Isobel Muir

Textile Design (BA Hons)

I specialise in woven textiles. My work is centred around Autism and how I interact with the world around me. The final major Project is named 'Sensory Sandscapes'. It looks at how I navigate sensory sensitivities whilst at the beach.

My Work

Investigation into my collecting habits. With smooth and interesting rocks and shells from the beach.
Collection of my most recent woven samples. Looking at a combination of calm and stressful stimuli, and how I can combine them as a way of progressive overload and exposure to irritating stimuli amongst the soothing textures and colours.
