 Michelle Grace Hunder

 "The title of Michelle's first exhibition "Audace" is the Italian word meaning 'bold and daring' rings true to the overriding style and nature of her work. This series featured professional dancers Teagan Lowe, Laura Trevor and Caleb Bartolo who have been removed from their traditional studio scenes and captured within the freeing and often hard bounds of nature."

 Michelle collaborated with Gabrielle Stephens for this project..... check out the Surface print strawberry feilds.

Time in the Tropics

We started the year with a research trip to tropical Thailand. 

With the runways awash with the tropics we decided to take some time to be inspired by palm trees, coconuts, sea breezes, vintage markets and the lush surrounds in Thailand. Here are a few pics from the trip.
