Gemma O’ Grady

Artist Statement

My name is Gemma O’ Grady. My final year is called “Oneness”. It is a deep dive into the exploration of Mars and its amazing landscape. My designs are created with an ethereal feel with a contemporary edge. In my final designs I have incorporated sustainable woven fabrics like Pinatex, indigo denim and Shibori dyeing. I am exploring traditional Shibori dyeing with a mix of fabric manipulations while highlighting my designs with crystal embroidery accessories.
