My current project title is Juxtaposition I've looked at juxtaposing textures and concepts... And from this practise a theme of 'pattern' has emerged. I've taken inspiration from magazines, photographs, and fashion textbooks. Most of which include patterns in some shape or form. Here are a few initial drawings and mood boards.
Fabriano printing paper has a texture that lends it self beautifully to the petals and detail of a rose.
I found a dead bird in the studio one day and took a photograph knowing it would provide inspiration, we were set a task to respond to anything dead so I used this, it was a ten minute response. I juxtaposed the idea of life and death my using pink paper instead of black or white because colour represents life, pink symbolizes unconditional love and nurturing...needless to say this bird wasn't nurtured.
This repetitive sketch of mini skirts was inspired from a photograph in a magazine of Senegalese dolls in a uniform group, I love repotion and the little skirts seemed realistic to repeatedly draw.
Mood boards are essential when looking at potential themes so before I settled on 'pattern' I explored other ideas looking at various images and placing them together.
