Lucinda Newton-Dunn (née Noble)
I am an artist and designer based in London. My design and print work is most often derived from my countless photos and day-to-day observations of pattern, structure and light, the complexity of which is translated onto fabric and paper.
With a BA in Art & Design from Camberwell College of Arts and an MA in Graphic Design from the Royal College of Art, my strongest work falls at the crossroads between art and design.
Living in Tokyo for over six years from 2001, I worked as a freelance photographer and video artist for exhibitions and events. Alongside raising a family, I then relocated to California in 2007, developing my own work as an artist and designer through collaborations and exhibitions, with a particular interest in textiles and print.
My practice has been hugely inspired by my time living abroad; the traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail in Japan, combined with the sunlight and mid century modern architecture and style in California. Always observing, photography is a key tool in my creative process; my eye for composition and continual curiosity around the beauty in the mundane has led to explorations into light, colour, structure and juxtaposition in various media.
Having returned to London in the summer of 2019, while continuing to design for clients, I am also developing my own range of prints and printed textiles, with an emphasis on beauty, process, sustainability and collaboration.
