Morgan Hordyk
BIO
Morgan Hordyk is a textile artist and surface designer based in Hamilton, Ontario. She creates textile objects and designs that are both playful and sophisticated. Her work is grounded in observation, drawing inspiration from her surroundings—especially geometric forms and tonal colour palettes.
By combining familiar patterns, textures, and colours, Morgan aims to create order through connection. Whether working with natural dyes, hand-drawn marks, or digital compositions, her process is guided by curiosity and intuition, resulting in designs that feel comfortable and approachable.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
FREESTYLE
My capstone project is part of an ongoing collection that draws inspiration from the design elements at the pool. Using tones of purple, pink, and yellow, I’ve designed a collection of textile wall hangings that echo the retro-modern pool aesthetic. Through patchwork, I aim to create new connections and relationships between these familiar patterns. The title, Freestyle, references both the swimming style and my improvisational, exploratory way of working.
