Neutral reflection: Spiritually, it is said that amethysts give a feeling of calm and serenity. Life can be filled with insecurity and the calming nature of amethyst and pride of purple tones can create a positive outlook through reflection as well as complimenting an interior space; the perfect balance.
Feature wall: Wall art resin trio, inspired by natural agate with a modern embellished twist. I aimed to contrast trending colours alongside the beauty of natural rocky edging that is symbolic of how they naturally occur; topped with a beautiful reflective resin coat to bounce light, luxury and tranquility.
Form and function: An agate influenced coffee table with connection amethyst and my ideology of ProdART. This consists of multiple layering to give the appearance of depth and structural formation; symbolising a natural form. Embellished with real crystals and golden crust that can be a creative centrepiece for an interior space.
Emerald Lagoon: The fusing of materials. 70-year-old cherry wood repurposed with an influence of the Emerald crystal. This has a thick resin centre filled with materials and tints that reflect light to replicate the variance of tone throughout a natural crystal. The wood represents the earths crust, natural texture and the growth within.
Opal Essence: The resin table is the collaboration of wood, rivers and opal. Natural occurring elements that come together to create a mixed media table that represents universal depth. I used extreme heat to create natural texture and opals natural iridescence.
Natural Slices: Taking the large-scale pieces created, I have replicated them into small coasters for every day use. Using texture, crystals and metallic flakes embedded into resin, I am creating the effect of agate slices. Having your own set of natural influences to hold your morning coffee, candles or wine glasses.
Textured Crescent: Taking influence of the elements, earthly textures and experimentation; I handcrafted clay pieces and cast them into moulds to fill with resin. I used all of my MA research to develop an abstract concept of replicating natural pattern and complimentary colours.
Fabric Intervention: Exploring new outlets, I developed cushions with digitally enhanced imagery and layered drawing. Using close up images of previous designs, I give them new purpose within other interior decoration.

Faith Selley

Master's in Art and Design Showcase

Fashion Textile Practices MA

Throughout my MA I have aimed to solidify my business, Faith Selley Design and Interior. I am a local Huddersfield creator who specialises in resin and textile practice. My primary ideology is using positive approaches to create functional art with ethically sourced materials that are sustainable, versatile and have the lowest risk to the environment through making as well as disposal. I use the inspiration from the earth itself, taking the texture, tone and especially natural formations such as geodes, agates and minerals as an influence. Contrast that with modern practice, I have developed wearable, displayable and practical pieces. I have investigated a variety of different methodologies, colour theory, creative outlets and personal research methods to define my brand and myself as a practitioner. I have aimed to develop my business into something I can be proud that keeps complete customer transparency. ProdART: The ideology that product and art can become one, that the art I create can have functional purpose in everyday life.
