Faye Hall works across textiles and wearable objects, developing her textiles practice to also include the creation of colourful, playful and tactile wearable objects. Influenced by her drawing practice, Faye generates unique pieces of jewellery, in her West Yorkshire studio, that explore form, colour and materiality. As well as investigating this intrinsic dialogue between colour and shape, her work is anchored to exploring the relationships between contrasts; soft textile against the coldness of precious metal, the texture of a heavily embellished surface against smooth wood, among others.
