Critical Studies - Tracy Kendal

For Critical Studies i looked at the designer Tracy Kendal, She came in some point of First year to give us a lecture but afterwards i have no took the time to look at her work or research her. Tracy Kendall is mostly known for her wallpaper designes, which ranges from huge one off design printed pieces to layered wallpaper of paper, text and objects/details.
She got in to the industary by designing her own wallpaper as she could not find nor afford wallpaper for her kitchen and so printed a huge knife, fork and spoon (as shown in the picture above)
Her inspirations are mostly fashion, with weaves and manipulated fabrics, she also looks at architecture and graphics for influnces as well and shes she looks at two designs and brings them together to get something completely new.
One designer she looks up to for inspiration is Ingo Maurer who is a lighting designer.
