This artwork began as the logo of a physiotherapy clinic.
The two hands you see were already part of it identity. My role was to translate that familiar image into a textile artwork, giving it texture, depth, and a physical presence on the clinic wall.
A logo is usually experienced on a screen, a business card, or a sign. Here, it became something you encounter when you walk into a room. Something you can move closer to, see from different angles, and notice in changing light.
That translation is where the interesting work happens.
The original design needs to remain recognisable, while the material brings its own character. A clean outline becomes a textured edge. A flat area of black becomes a raised surface. The light background becomes part of the composition, with its own rhythm and detail.
In this piece, the curved shapes of the hands sit against straight vertical lines. The contrast keeps the image clear from a distance, while the layers reveal themselves as you come closer.
And for a physiotherapy clinic, hands carry a particular meaning. They are connected to care, movement, support, and the work of helping people feel better in their bodies. Translating that symbol into an artwork made by hand adds another connection between the image and the way it was created.
I love that final change of perspective. On the worktable, my attention is on small details. Once the artwork is hanging, I can step back and see the whole image in the setting it was made for.
This project brings together two sides of my work at WEAVE IN STUDIO: textile art and interior design. It is a way to express a business’s identity through an original piece, with its scale, colours, and composition considered alongside the interior.
Do you have a logo or a visual idea you would like to explore beyond print and screens? I’d love to see it and talk about what it could become.
