WEEK 6: Monday 5th May 2014
UNIT X
I have sent two of my large scale A1 paper prints to be digitally printed onto fabric this week, the results have been fantastic, the colour quality is exactly the same as the original image and draped and placed delicately they become alive and really evoke emotion of history and trace of memory/ past.
I have worked with old objects creating something new but still preserving and enforcing the history within.

This week I have also been researching some more context textile designers. I am an image based artist but I feel the samples I am producing lend themselves to scarf prints or designs.
I have researched a contemporary designers like Rohka, a married couple whom collaborate and create couture prints inspired by their heritage.
For the fabric they use silk and digitally print the orginal design and then hand print or flock on top. Each piece is completely individual and finished with stitched borders.
