Issey Hennessy. University for the Creative Arts, Rochester. Selected Graduate 2018
Published: 28.06.2018
Most of the time the use of textiles and by extension the practice of pattern cutting fabric, isn’t extended much further than being an encasing for the body. My work explores how working in textiles and creating structure with the material can be pushed further, developing ways that they can be an adornment on the body rather than being limited by conventional or domestic uses.

University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, Kent and Surrey, United Kingdom.
Issey’s jewellery is a dialogue between bold, large-scale form and intricate, detailed beading and embroidery. Using the hand and fingers as motifs she has used her expressive drawing skills to develop three-dimensional forms that embrace the body and hints at the body as both structure and adornment. Each piece is either fully or partially covered with growths and clusters of a variety of imaginative embelishments.
The work has a fleshy, organic feel to it with necklace components interlinking and Issey has developed some original magnetic solutions in order to develop over-sized brooches.
