Martha Lawton
On the GREEN GRADS stand in the Innovation Gallery, Marta explores the highly-topical issue of river pollution in a series of woven woollen paintings using natural dyes and materials. Inspired by her own experiences of wild swimming, she has created “slow” textiles that do not harm the environment around us.
“Natural materials and ethical exploration are at the core of my work. GREEN GRADS has increased my confidence in the world of design and I now feel we can make a positive change to our industry slowly but surely.”
