The self-taught contemporary artist known as Lhouette was born in Luton. He joined the navy at 17 but has been focused on art for the last eight years. His work combines street-art influences with plenty of wit, and is increasingly sought-after
I spent a lot of time with my brother and friends in east London when I first left the navy. There was so much creative energy in the city, especially in Shoreditch with its pop-up galleries and the street art around Brick Lane – the huge, posterised murals by the likes of Shepard Fairey had me in awe. The urban art spoke to me. It felt raw, with a self-taught practice executed in the same DIY media I was already experimenting with, such as aerosols and stencils.

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
