Australia’s largest public health problem of today’s age can be associated with physical inactivity through the increase use and ease of technology. Australian females between the ages of 18 - 25 do a third of the amount of exercise as their male counterparts. Gabrielle Ingham’s project exaimes the unique connection between the digital and physical world that printed textiles creates and how they can be utalised to combat the rising issues of sedentary behaviour in tertiary students and early home leavers. The project engages young females with modern technologies and printing techniques to create their own interesting and originally printed activewear.
