past projects — Kate McAteer Designs

making a mark

I expressed myself in past projects through the media of embroidery and knit. Inspired by Irish weather, the colour palette consisted mainly of black and white plus shades of grey and blue. I used knit in the unconventional sense, as I opted to free hand embroider over it, creating texture and depth. I often hand dyed paper and hand or machine embroidered over it for the same reason. I explored using torn paper and frayed edges to create a rough and jagged aesthetic. This aesthetic symbolises the force of a raindrop hitting the pavement after streamlining from murky clouds or a hailstone crashing off a window pane and losing structure.
