I have been printing like crazy for some time and my designs are gradually beginning to evolve. Within this design of winter flowers, I have changed the appearance by using acid discharge on black cotton, which gives a ghostly almost eery contrast agains the severe black. The intertwined branches seem to form some sort of abstract pattern, so I am really pleased by the effect. It has been quite a drawn out process developing my designs, and has given me lots of time to reflect on what I would really like to acheive. It is difficult to be truly original in this busy fast paced world, especially after seeing a much publicised design by a current interiors company, blatantly copied by many other companies. Design wise, my work is still evolving at quite a pace.
This is a chair that I plan to get uphostered in my one of my handprinted fabrics. The current choice of fabric is a dark oatmeal coloured natural looking linen. Inspired by organic forms in the winter months, I plan on producing a highly unusual striking design, which may or may not involve foiling to contrast against the black ink.
You have worked extremely hard and produced some excellent contemporary designs that are on trend! I look foward to seeing the chair made up in your design.
