Gemma uses a combination of print and hand stitch to produce themes for interiors. She is most inspired by her surroundings and likes to capture this through photography, using these photographs to create drawings; she produces designs by hand and also using digital processes. Gemma's designs generally tend to be geometric, consistent with her chosen techniques, and they move from the realistic to the abstract during the development process. Hand stitched wallpaper has been a strong focus of hers over the past year and, although time consuming, has given her a bespoke, high-end finish, making the designs more personalised. Part of Gemma's process is to produce original designs in stitch or screen print, which would be customised to individual taste, but could then be developed digitally for a broader market.
