Week 4: Monday 31st March 2014

UNIT X

This week has been a slow week creating collages I have been layering objects and physical samples upon the scanner improving on last weeks samples to be created into a digital print.







 A combination of fabric and paper samples scanned into Photoshop, edited and digitally printed on a crepe de chine fabric. A4 in size, I am working in small scale at the moment whilst I experiment.







I will  upscale and create larger and professional digital prints on fabric and paper to be utilised in my exhibition and portfolio. I have also been thinking about what my exhibition will look like and making notes and ideas in my sketchbook. 



I have been researching a context for my work and as an image maker my work can potentially be used for many outcomes, as I am working in a sheer fabric and the prints are painterly my samples seem to lend themselves to fashion scarf design. 


I have been researching a textile designer  Michael Van Der Ham. 
He is a Central Saint Martins graduate who mixes and collages busy prints creating a tactile fabric. His work is striking and utilises collage in a way similar to my work. His context and audience  is similar to mine and creates fabric fashion scarves for a young female audience.
