Helen Amy Murray is a London-based textile designer who sculpts floral designs into wools, suedes, and leathers. Her work was originally inspired by the wood and marble carvings she discovered on a research trip to India. Upon returning to London, she experimented with translating these similar sculptural effects into a new medium - textiles. The intricate patterns found in her work are a fusion of her upbringing in the English countryside with her urban city life: drawing inspiration from nature, the city and its architecture.
