More about Nowshin Prenon
Nowshin Prenon is a multidisciplinary artist, specialising in woven textile design. As a textile designer Prenon’s work focuses on telling a story through the use of material and processes. She creates hand-dyed and hand-woven artwork. Her process investigates both digital explorations and expressive winding techniques, which are influenced by her cultural heritage. Her use of rich colour and detailed pattern translated into fabrics illustrate her style as a designer.
Prenon is interested in the relationship of colour and form, which she uses to create layered textile. Playing with line and colour in different order of thread through wrapping allows her to construct intricate artwork.
Nowshin graduated from Textile Design at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
