He believes in taking work in new directions by combining techniques and inventing his own forms.A core component of Rob’s work is his love of colour and pattern, which he brings to light in his colour saturated and complex embroidery work. Traditional patterns are broken and reassembled to produce new and original forms.Rob has a keen eye for detail and only selects the best material from which to make finished pieces. Every piece is assembled with care to ensure a beautiful and unique item that will last.To this end Rob’s work focusses on providing the structure to contain the organic nature of the dyes and processes he uses and carefully selecting those which will form the most compelling pieces.Rob starts each day with a meditation to clear his mind and help him to focus on the tasks ahead. Every day is different and unique, much like the work he creates." } ] } ] ```
