Izi Thexton’s practice does not revolve around a single medium, but adapts to find appropriate,

concept-driven ones.

.

Obsessed with the material qualities of physical objects, her projects span from

publication

to

weaving

to

blacksmithing

and more. These analogue processes of hands-on making (particularly in 

textiles

) further her material understanding and generate ideas. However, what underpins Izi’s practice is an aim to

highlight and facilitate discourse

around

a need for change.

She uses her stance of designer-as-publisher not to speak

for people

, but

to bring lesser-heard voices to the fore

and

challenge ingrained attitudes.

She believes that using the design process as a form of research is enriched by collaboration and

a sense of play.
