I recently went to a concert with a girlfriend and was amazed when she quickly showed me a few photos of her art work in the car. I knew she was talented but when she announced the pieces were all completed in one day I was shocked, it takes mze days..weeks...months to get one of my pieces to look this good.


Currently enrolled at LCF (London College of Fashion) was working on this particular project in her 3rd term of the second year on BA (Hons) Fashion Illustration. 

It was a Professional Brief Unit and a Charity called Fine Cell Work came in to give a Brief before the project began - website about charity: http://www.finecellwork.co.uk/

The objective was to create 6 designs for pillows, taking inspiration from the word "Release" with out it being prison Cliché. 

Bina began looking at words surrounding the word release such as freedom, liberation...etc., researching images that symbolized these meanings. the world and the eagle symbolize wild and free, the eye represents the all - as well as the window to the soul, and in the picture with the clock the representation is of the constant servileness the prisoners are under and the constant servileness the prisoners have on the clock. The clock was changed to roman numerals- to the scoring system, prisoners used on the wall of their cell to count down the days. Bina said she felt it appropriate as the clock represents time, and the prisoners are 'doing time". 

The images were drawn individually using graphite pencil and then put into photoshop creating a different composition. 

If she wins the competition the pillows will be manufactured by Fine Cell Work who hope to sell the cushions in a High Street store. 

Good Luck.
