Development- Large scale print

After the tutor crit and presentation, I wanted to test on larger scale fabric with brighter colours and bolder shapes. I took inspiration from my previous samples and developed the shapes from these further in the print room.

 Using stencils to create the motifs helped to vary the shapes, and gave the print a spontaneous, un-structured feel. I wanted to see how this would look overlapping the pigment using different shapes.

 

 Where the different shapes overlap, I find this interesting and like how the pigment shows through changing the tone. As I've printed with pigment, the fabric feels stiff and not a quality I want so need to test other options.

I came across Maxine Sutton who is a print designer for interior. I saw similarities between her work and mine and has really inspired me to experiment with overlapping motifs.
