Experimenting with colour and sublimation print

After printing with pigment, I thought I needed to experiment with a different print type by keeping a similar 'boldness' shape print. I played around with my colour palette as I felt it was too busy with so many colours on the print at once. I was inspired by a front cover of 'Bloom' and felt that deeper, brighter tones would work best but still going for similar colours. 



 I have been inspired by the work of Anna Jacobs and like how she uses large ink, playful brush strokes and marks on her prints.

 

Work from the summer inspired me further to overlap shapes, as well as finding shapes from current drawings.

 





Thinking how I could keep the boldness but make it slightly less structured, I experimented with sublimation print, painting this onto paper, cutting the shapes out and heat transferring onto synthetic fabric. The rough edges from the brush strokes show a slightly more abstract effect but still with the shapes visible.  

 At this stage, I don't think these samples work in conjunction with my drawings or style and feel the colours are dated. I intend to test different synthetic fabrics and colour ways.
