The digitalised Celtic Swirl print was corrupted with access to a video camera connected to a black and white television. After the screenshots and photocopying, she drew on the images using India Ink, a dip pen and a Sharpie. Her cut and paste technique finalised the design process. The print names for this collection were: ’Tudor Check’, ’Celtic Swirl’ and ’Lion Map’. They were printed onto stretch denim, poplin, organide and shot acetate taffetas. The prints were proofed and produced in Bermondsey railway arches by David Jamison. This was her last working collaboration with BodyMap. She left their studio to lecture at St Martins full time whilst selling designs freelance in Italy, and gave guest lectures all over the UK, Japan, New York and Toronto. Later in 1986 she began buying and developing derelict properties in Islington, Hackney and later in Barcelona, Tarifa and Algeciras, Spain. She has made Spain her home and is now a Spanish National.
