Jenni Cresswell
Jenni Cresswell is a textile artist with a passion for using second-hand/acquired dresses as the inspiration for her creative projects. She deconstructs the garments and embellishes them with stitch and print, often filming and photographing the process. She feels that dresses already contain their own stories and through deconstructing and embellishing the dresses, her work strives to give visual clues to decoding their stories hidden within them. By the same token she is hoping to reveal something more fundamental about herself and to express her own personal narratives, despite the potentially destructive process of exposure for both of them.
