I have decided that I would like to hang some other work
alongside my fabric prints at the exhibition and although I may use some work
which I have already completed, I want to try and produce some more designs
which are very developed and have been informed by the work I have already
done. Over the past few days I have been deliberating about whether to use
print, painting, digital work or a combination. I would like to use my drawing
and painting skills, but because I am wary about time I have decided to design
and paint some motifs which I will then manipulate in Photoshop. I began work
on my drawings for the motifs today.
After having re-visited the work of digital print designer
Danielle Hensby whilst compiling my artist influence for my catalogue I have
thought about whether I would like these designs to be entirely repeats like those
on my fabrics or more of a collage of different elements composed together in a
design which looks more like a picture. Hensby’s work is less about repeating
one central motif and more about layering together lots of different things. I think
that I would like to take a similar approach with these designs. For my
drawings I have picked out interesting elements, some which are patterns and
some which are figurative. I will use of the elements alone within the design
and others I will repeat. I have also decided
to draw and paint these much larger than the tile designs I did before as they
were difficult and very time consuming to paint. I think that a combination of
paint and digital work will give my designs an interesting feel as I think, had
I added colour completely digitally, the overall look of the work would not sit
well with the more ‘earthy’ and hand-done art which has inspired it.
