Degree show Safia Ann Kukaswadia 2015

After visiting the degree show I was very inspired and loved the work of Safia Ann Kukaswadia. Her work is abstract and print based with detailed embroidery.

 
 This piece inspires me as I like how she has used the scale of the print on the fabric. It's not over crowded and she has kept it simple. I want to keep my work quite minimal and not over print on designs. The pigment with embellishment over creates texture and a slight shimmer, lifting the print.

 

 

In my final year I would like to create larger pieces like she has done for these prints, this will help me to understand my context further and show the scale of my work. Safia uses abstract marks on her prints which I think works well and can adapt to any context.

The range of prints she has vary in design but work well as a collection. I want to aim for this depth of work and feel that having a large varied amount will help me to understand my practice further. I hope to create prints which can be adapted to different products for the home. This work inspires me to do this as I can visualise it on different types of soft furnishings for the home.
