CONTEXT OF PRACTICE – DREAM STATES
TRANSFERRING THE MARK MAKING EXPERIMENTS ONTO CROQUIS TO CREATE DESIGN IDEAS. THE SHAPES WERE CUT OUT OF THE PAPER FOLLOWING THE NATURAL PATTERNS THE VARNISH MADE TO CREATE UNIQUE GARMENT SHAPES.
CONTEXT OF PRACTICE – DREAM STATES
SKETCHBOOK DEVELOPMENT RESEARCHING PRINT TECHNIQUES, COLOUR PALETTES AND TEXTURES.
CONTEXT OF PRACTICE – DREAM STATES
DESIGN DEVELOPMENTS FOLLOWING THE FABRIC EXPERIMENTS AND FASHION/PRINT RESEARCH.
CONTEXT OF PRACTICE – DREAM STATES
SAMPLING AND WORKING ON THE STAND TO PLACE DETAILING AND CHANGE THE DESIGN. ALSO EXPERIMENTING WITH GRAPHICS INSPIRED BY THE GRAPHICS USED IN THE PAINTING.
