The first Selvedge Award for Excellence goes to Louise Beck from London Metropolian University. Louise's prints were in a corner but they instantly caught our attention. Sugary subject matter is given dark and mysterious overtones – carousel horses rise up in frenzied gaiety and her fairytale forest threatens to engulf the viewer. In impeccably drawn prints Louise captures the moment when dreams turn into nightmares. Contact her at becklouise@hotmail.com
