Australia’s largest public health problems in contemporary society can be associated with physical inactivity, stemming from increased use and ease of technology. Australian women between the ages of 18 and 25 are doing a third of the amount of exercise as their male counterparts. Therefore, Gabrielle Ingham's project engages young females with modern technologies and printing techniques to create their own interesting and originally printed active-wear. In doing so, Gabrielle examines the unique connection that printed textiles creates between digital and physical worlds, and how this connection can be utilised to combat the rising issues of sedentary behaviour in tertiary students and early home leavers.
