[print designs]
I took the most exciting abstract work I have created so far and have turned them into a variety of print designs. I decided to keep away from the orange so much as it's used pretty much throughout Bacon's work and I felt it was too much of an obvious colour choice. However, the blue's from his Screaming Pope series have been transferred into my first design, along with some of the browns and a hint of orange. The black and white designs relate much more to my word 'mark' using expressive strokes and layering the illustrations together. As Bacon uses an abstraction of faces to create portraits, usually unrecognisable I have taken this technique and used my '3 minute quick sketch of each word' piece.
I am undecided on fabrics to print onto so I will use a large amount of different materials; from white leather/suede to cotton to mesh muslin. I want to find a fabric that matches the print well, but will also mesh well with embroidery or laser cutting. To layer up the textiles will also include using some very thin fabrics, like silk or a manmade replica.
