Natalie Tyler trained as a print textile designer at CSM and designed commercially for the fashion sector as well as being a visiting lecturer to Fashion, Textiles and Jewellery courses.
She has developed a love of embroidery which has helped her to explore and experiment with pattern, imagery and texture. A love of still life inspires her work.
This piece is inspired by memory and the fragmentation of past events through imagery, design, print and colour that have been used to relay a life cycle of experiences embroidered onto a duvet, an everyday object that protects and comforts an ever growing developing human being.
Natalie Tyler uses hand embroidery in a playful, colourful way expressing emotion and memory.
