Second Year Textiles (Man Made/ Organic Project)

I developed more refined design ideas with the aid of Photoshop, I created motifs and imagery using the drawings from my sketchbook. Using this imagery I created repeat and placement designs. I wanted to create  a organic, slightly chaotic mood, however the use of my imagery in my sketchbook (the ordered maps and grids) meant there is a certain man made element to my designs. Furthermore the use of digital technology and the fact I used digital print on silk habotai emphasised my theme of the contrast of man-made and natural. The flow and vine like qualities of both the motifs and silk juxtaposes greatly with the map/grid like lines within the motifs and the digital print methods I decided to use for my resolved final outcomes.


Below are the final design samples for this resolved project. (Click to enlarge images.)
