This pattern design evolved from many different motifs I had – The main shape is actually the outline of a tree trunk from the past project and the background came from a motif I was working on that was based off the patterns in leaf veins.
Urban Renewal November 22, 2011
This project was focused around a newspaper article or world news – I chose a TED talk by Majora Carter to be my inspiration. If you haven’t heard about her – go google it now and you will love listening to her lecture! She focuses on urban renewal – specifically in the Bronx – her stories are amazing and what she is trying to do for the people of the Bronx is very inspirational! So I wanted my design to reflect a sense of urban renewal – through elements of time and growth. The chair on the right is my design called time!
Woven Folklore November 22, 2011
Fruit of the Labor
For another fibers project – we had to combine two themes -my themes were woven and folklore. This fabric was inspired for my studio project – which was a doctor’s office, emphasizing wellness and health – hence this outline of a pomegranate – part of my design concept for wellness!
This is also part of the same project – called Growth. For this pattern, I decided to dive deeper into my design concept of pomegranates and used the seeds of a pomegranate as inspiration! In full scale, this design will be a large-scale stripe!
Woven Times
This image is mixed media that finishes out the project – I scanned in images of ripped newspaper that had been overlapping and then played with it in photoshop. It represents the idea of folklore through its use of narrative from the new york times!
New Adventures! November 22, 2011
My first project in a fibers class – half-drop repeat wallpaper design!
This is the wallpaper border that matches – I wanted it to have a lack of color but similar line weight and line stroke!
