Wander on Purpose is an ode to creative expression and its potential for healing community and self.
This design honours ‘Painted Fabrics,’ a transformative project developed in the 1920’s in Sheffield whereby ex-servicemen created handcrafted fabrics together.
As part of the rehabilitation Annie Bindon Carter developed the idea of tying paint brushes to the amputees’ residual limbs which enabled the injured ex-servicemen to stencil and paint fabrics.
The artist
Eye Violet – Jayde Bell
Eye Violet, the artistic pseudonym of Jayde Bell, is an impassioned muralist who explores the intersections of culture and community through bursts of vibrantly coloured large-scale paintings.
Her works are storytelling tapestries that captivate the imagination, each mural telling a unique story of the people and places encountered throughout its creation. Eye Violet’s portfolio reflects a commitment to social commentary, participation, cultural celebration, and grassroots philosophy.
