Direction

This week I have been gathering inspiration for the placement of my motifs. I have been looking at object placement within interior by looking at vessels and how they've been placed on shelves in quantities.

 

These vessels reflect certain shapes from my architecture drawings. I want my prints be quite random in the way that the shapes are placed and spontaneous giving the prints varied aesthetics. I have also been looking at 100% design for other contemporary interior objects.  

 

My drawings of objects and an idea of how I want my prints to look.

The work of Cecil Touchon has inspired me to create collaged texture for the backgrounds of my prints.I discharged the pattern out as well as my previous ink designs to then work over using colour. I used stencils and a blank screen to block out so I was left with the desired shapes.

 

At the moment I want these to be spontaneous and not linear which I think challenges me to think differently. I feel that the colour of the fabric could be a bit more consistent as I have dyed too many different shades, but hope to bring the prints together with colour.
