I’ve often said that the beauty of textiles as a medium is the sheer diversity of what can be created. The final two artists chosen for our graduate showcase illustrate this perfectly. Madeleine Wright explores social issues through her work and Safety Net aims to raise awareness of Charles Thompson’s mission which was founded in 1892 and still helps people today offering them a ‘safety net’.

Shuying Wang uses colour, tension and different yarns to embody the creativity of knit, while exploring the concept of human environmental connections.
