Illustrated eyes embroidered on silk material; inspired by the humanisation of objects and the objectification of humans.

Jaydine Rolle is an interdisciplinary ‘Phygital’ Designer and Maker specialising in mixed media. Having worked with various industry professionals and with a Fashion Design Bachelors Degree, her practice is intertwined with different cultural nuances and investigates how to transform challenges into lasting positive changes.

Jaydine amalgamates traditional handcraft techniques and digital design systems and processes to establish a synergy between the mood of colour and materials. Led by a materials-first approach which allows materials to drive any type of creative process. Her work is driven by a circular design system targeted towards repurposing and reclaiming waste materials.

In a world facing the end of resource abundance, future terrains focus on synergies between industry and the environment. ‘Phygital’ materials is a broad construct describing the integration between digital and physical materials. The visible growth and use of these materials can be seen in automotive, CMF product design, art and design craft industries.

Inspired by the humanisation of objects and the objectification of humans, identity and communication. Through investigation into the relationship between circularity and materiality, I am proposing bodily three-dimensional experimental sculptures and materials integrated with digital processes and mechanisms as designs of ‘elegant motion’ that can be applied in products, services and systems to add more value to the built environment.

Within my practice, I look to my immediate environment to transform perspectives of the mundane. To establish a synergy between the mood of colour and material, I experiment with handcraft techniques which involve the process of layering, mending, embroidery and appliqué using unconventional irregularly shaped objects, cellulose fibres, porous and non-porous materials with different surface effects and material qualities.

I explore my colour palette on cellulose fibres and materials that share similar porous and fibrous structural tissue properties, allowing me to identify different material relationships with pattern and colour.

The harmony of colour and complimentary colour combinations informs the assembly of my colour palette throughout my work. I start intuitively by putting colours together, experimenting with adding new colours and changing the tonal range of the colours.

Digitised wood painting embroidery – The importance of handcraft in an era of crisis needs design to work in synergy with nature and play a central role in transforming challenges into lasting positive changes through raw materials use or in more indirect ways, such as photographic prints. The material patterns I create are inspired by material objects on the earth’s surface, offering a raw and elemental update within the discipline of textiles.

When surplus materials and by-products are mended, a new circular material is created with identity and character.

Inspired by Watson and Cricks' molecular structure and driven by the question of what it truly means to be human. The sculpture is made from cotton offcuts and waste materials, hand embroidered with a narrative.

The Face of Cotton is a personification of the molecular structure of the cotton fibre (CH20H). Inspired by the humanisation of objects and objectification of humans.
