Sadie Williams creates textile driven fashion, juxtaposing modernity with craft; bringing shimmer and sparkle to her work through continued use of metallic. Her combination of sporty graphic elements mixed with femininity and craft has been a signature since graduating. She went on to become a Selfridges’ ‘Bright Young Thing’; included in The Design Museum's ‘Designs of The Year Exhibition 2014'; listed as one of Forbes Magazine’s “30 Under 30” for The Arts 2016; and awarded Swarovski sponsorship in 2017.
Through her graphic work, she capitalises on her strengths in print & textile innovation and she has embraced the challenge of creating an artwork for Cure3 that infuses colour and graphics whilst allowing the transparent qualities of the Perspex and collaged textiles to breathe. “Paying homage to the bold geometry and labour-of-love found in traditional folk and Amish quilts, I have meticulously hand-collaged a series of brightly hued translucent ‘quilts’. Each facade holds a white frame, inside of which a unique print has been applied (through heat-transfer printing) to a delicate shimmering gauze-like textile. The work interacts playfully with colour, texture and light/transparency to enchanting effect. It’s juxtaposing ghostly and vivid qualities interchanging with the light of the day and perspective of the viewer.”
