I recently visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and in the shop I found some items made by Heather Leadbetter, a graudate also from Nottingham Trent University who studied Textile Design. Some of the pieces include handmade books and boxed art pieces. She takes inspiration from the concept of myths and make believe places which results in pieces that are enchanting and whimsical. Through the use of laser cutting and embossing in addition to an experimental use of colour she creates layers and movement within her 2D pieces.
