Olivia Walster

BA Textile Design

Olivia Walster is a BA Textile Design student specialising in Knit. Her final year project is a visual exploration of biophilic design through the mediums of photography, videography, printmaking, and Knit. By capturing the serene and dynamic beauty of natural landscapes, it aims to create immersive environments that promote relaxation and a deeper connection to the natural world. By bringing elements of nature into our environments, this project seeks to enhance well-being and foster a sense of harmony between individuals and the nature. The knit collection is inspired by visual studies. Texture, pattern, material, and colour are influenced by the intricate details and organic shapes found in nature. This holistic approach supports well-being, embodying the principles of biophilic design.
