About
Kerri is a textile designer whose work centres the research and development of new materials, existing and emerging technologies, smart textiles and investigative approaches in printed textile design. Focusing on innovation, Kerri pursues forward thinking practices towards textile design and apparel. Earlier projects include 'Motion Response Sportswear' - exploring the potential for wearable displays and responsive apparel using thermochromic and liquid crystal materials via analogue and digital printing methods. Secondly, 'Garment ID' - an interplay between cloth fabrication and printed textile design using non-conventional materials, approaches and considerate interventions to challenge perceptions and expectations towards clothing and garment identification.
Kerri is currently undertaking a PhD (2010-13) at Loughborough University in 'Laser Techniques for Textile Design and Colouration'. This research project is a Collaborative Doctoral Award Studentship awarded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in collaboration with industry partners, Society of Dyers and Colourists.
