Digital Craft

Cherelle Byfield is another graduate from Middlesex University. Her collection is a patterned affair with a refreshingly light colour palette.

For some reason I am reminded of an absurd book called Chariots of the Gods, written by Erich von Däniken in 1968. Its main premise it that ancient civilisations were given their technologies and religions by aliens, whom they worshipped as gods. Silly stuff in my opinion, but the book does have some incredible imagery of crop circles and ancient drawings in caves, many of which remind me of the patterns Cherelle has used.

The patterns feel digital yet crafted.
