SURFACES
​Street Banners

SURFACES by Rhiannon Hunter

Picture
Surfaces is a series of six large, bright and bold, fabric banners created to hang along the main street of Stoke-upon-Trent.
The banners are designed and hand-stitched by Rhiannon and the designs use abstract imagery inspired by two of the most striking buildings in the town centre:
  • The recently renovated Sutherland building on Church Street
  • The old Stoke Library opposite Sainsbury’s

"I propose to create a series of vibrant outdoor fabric banners with bold designs that are directly inspired by the architectural forms of Stoke’s buildings. The designs respond to the environment of Stoke’s streets, abstracting shapes, colours and forms to create layered compositions that trigger associations with the locality and invite people to look at the surroundings anew." Rhiannon Hunter
