Laura McCafferty




 Laura McCafferty uses a combination of traditional crafts and illustration to present her documentation of the world.

I really like the way she produces her work. She usually photographs or illustrates people she sees then uses applique and screen printing to then produce the textured piece, then applying hand stitching it. It's all very nice and girly. And i like the way she works. I really like the different fabrics she finds as well.
This has really influenced the book project. 
I'm really interested in using material and texture to represent the personality that i can hear behind the accents i record. I'm really fond of how the colours clash and how it looks all quite distasteful, something that i'd like to experiment with too.
