Textile designer Imogen Switalla’s life-affirming designs often involve flowers and the colour pink. After initially enrolling in a fine arts course, she switched to textile design when she realised that most of her artwork “was coincidentally a pattern”.
Imogen relocated to Melbourne a few months ago, but not before she took out the 2022 Bolt of Cloth Textile Design Award, which means the four designs she entered have been made into cushions and will be sold in store and online. She says she feels very lucky.
