College work developed to
include colour and slowly different pattern combinations evolved. I found
it difficult to select just one colour palette to work to but in the end settled
for the lovely dirty blues and burnt oranges that a photograph of Cuban tiles
suggested to me. Placing drawings and part drawings was very pleasing - I found
it interesting the way the black and white lines of varying density worked with
the colours and I ended up quite
pleased with the results – for a first attempt anyway. One piece potentially was for wrapping paper
and the other with some further development would make a nice fabric or
wallpaper design.
Using these drawings as a starting point and a similar colour palate
I moved into the world of constructive textiles
This was my first real introduction to screen print, and while it
was fun I really enjoyed working up the different screen prints using wool,
embroidery, adding layers of paint and inks and applique. I could have gone on for ever developing this
work there are so many combinations of different techniques and so much
inspiration from other students and some interesting stuff to be found on the
internet.
