20 -29 April 'The Fabric of Design' - Concepts for Lace Market Square, Nottingham




Fiona Heron reveals the inspiration behind the square through sketches, photography and 3 dimensional pieces. Themes drew on the history of the area and the industry of lace making as well as nature from which many lace patterns are drawn.
Key to the design was the enfolding of all elements into a single, integrated work of art. One where nature’s patterning and repetition entwines with the lace - making motifs of weave and weft, pins and pricked paper patterns. The resulting design interweaves the rich influence of historical lace buildings with the innovative forms of modern architecture
