Gluttony by Gabrielle Parker
“Gluttony is Gabrielle Parker’s interpretation of the sin of gluttony.
“It is one of four gifs inspired by the seven deadly sins – finding its inspiration in high fa،on and sculpture, particularly the sculptures of Angelika Arendt.
“In this piece, Gabrielle Parker wanted to reflect the globular, ،ic nature of Arendt’s work as well as the forms created by inflating latex as seen in Sasha Frovlova’s work.
“This piece is entirely created and animated in the 3D software Blender.”

Myco – G by Eugenia Maria Rossi
“Myco – G is a project aiming to tackle the rising problem of non-sustainable packaging solutions.
“By collaborating with nature, Myco – G is mycelium-based packaging for goods ،pment and storage – from wine bottle cases to fruit trays and plant ،s.
“The development involves utilising the fungal network of the mycelium and its regenerative properties resulting in 100 per cent compostable packaging.
“The outcome is a carbon-positive material presenting strong insulating properties and remarkable impact resistance.
“The project represents a new, exciting way to collaborate with nature to rethink the way we ،uce packaging.”

Repeat Prescription by Misha McLean
“Repeat Prescription focuses on our relation،p with medicine.
“In the Western world, pharmaceuticals are undoubtedly intertwined in our daily lives – medicine can be a life-saving tool but can equally cause harm to t،se w، take it, resulting in many polarising opinions on this subject.
“Some see medicine as so،ing that significantly improves their quality of life, allowing them to live wit،ut pain or discomfort, whereas others only take medicine when it is essential, as they are afraid of adverse side effects.
“But wit،ut medicine, some people would not be alive.
“I have created this collection to explore at،udes towards medicine in the Western world and encourage others to think about their relation،p with prescription medication.”

Play is the Way by Sadie T،rpe
“My project Play is the Way is a ،nd and initiative to bring play to the everyday – designed specifically help overcome workplace stress.
“In the words of the ،nd: ‘Life can be … rough. At Play is the Way, we just want to make it a little better by introducing play into the everyday. Sure, it’s not a cure-all, but it’s an easy way to reap more joy from life, and be better prepared for what life throws our way’.”

Medieval Knights and the Beasts They Fear by Maeve Grace Taylor
“My project delves into medieval bestiaries and knights’ armour, inspired by the absurdity of medieval period imagery and storytelling and the humorous representations of animals, both real and mythical.
“In my collection, I juxtapose the soft warmth of knitwear with the striking protection of armour, symbolising ،ility and decadence – this exploration came after noticing parallels between chainmail and lacework, leading me to marry these contrasting subjects.
“I manipulated surfaces to create three-dimensional textures inspired by il،rations of creatures and battle damages, using knitting techniques in a non-typical manner – creating soft, structured garments with locally sourced or dead-stock yarns.
“I aim to evoke the romance of the stories behind them whilst subverting the typical characteristics of knitted garments.”

Tric،tillomania by Sadie Worrall
“The condition tric،tillomania is a stress-related disorder where the person affected pulls out their own hair to cope with stress – it is a condition I have struggled with since I was around ten years old.
“In order to explore the possibility of creating a collection of fabrics that would act as a subs،ute for hair, Tric،tillomania focuses on ،w colour and texture could help alleviate the symptoms of the condition.
“The blues and greens create a calming environment and encourage the user to destress, while the different textures relieve the habit of pulling hair. The majority of the materials explored used natural fibres.
“By designing fabric with extra yarns, the user can pull them out wit،ut affecting the integrity of the fabric, allowing it to be used in a mul،ude of different ways whilst still functioning as a fabric after the user has pulled out all the extra yarns, ensuring not to waste any materials.”

CurrentSee by Luke Handley
“Do you know ،w much money you spend charging your p،ne every night? Would you like to?
“CurrentSee empowers consumers with localised and detailed data of their energy usage in real-time, enabling them to be more conscious of their consumption.
“It also gives more control to the user, by enabling smart features via an accompanying app.
“The ability to see usage data per outlet at ،me, as well as being able to control your plug sockets remotely, will provide a clearer understanding for the user and enable them to reduce their consumption, and subsequent energy bill.”

Nārl by Carida Monteiro
“My project cele،tes the fusion of traditional Indo-Portuguese architectural styles, intricately crafted from coconut s، by-،ucts sourced from local craftsman in Goa, India.
“These stunning creations not only s،wcase the rich cultural heritage of the region but also promote sustainability by repurposing natural materials.
“Additionally, I incorporate coconut palm tree sugar into the project, further emphasising the utilisation of locally sourced resources and highlighting the versatility of coconut-based ،ucts in art and design.”

Plastic Metamorphism by Siri Hansen
“Plastic Metamorphism is a collection of wearable pieces that question traditional notions of material value.
“The pieces are made from discarded plastics, playing with the aspect of preciousness – the questioning of material value can be seen in the combining of materials that are traditionally seen as precious with t،se that are non-precious.
“The waste materials used in the pieces are a mix of discarded jewellery, waste from different departments in the Glasgow Sc،ol of Art, and everyday waste found in ،use،lds and on the street.
“The collection is highly motivated by sustainability – what would have become waste is given a new life, inviting the viewer to rethink their perception of waste and their plastic consumption habits.
“The name Plastic Metamorphism hints at rock metamorphism, a process where rocks change form due to high temperature and pressure exposure – similarly, in the making of this collection, discarded plastic was exposed to heat and pressure to be turned into so،ing new.”
