Visual Research and embroidery, exploring the baroque and gothic trend.
I'm looking into Catholicism for my embroidery project, the idea sparked from developing the 'family trees' brief title I was given initially. I love the current gothic and baroque trends and have used fashion as inspiration combined with surface pattern/ texture and embroidery samples.
Scarf Layout
And here is the final design: complete with a baroque border that will add another element when the scarf is draped around somebody. The design has no particular orientation and is balanced. I love the contrast between the crowded motif and the space surrounding it between the border. I can't wait to print it onto my fabric- I really hope I manage to achieve a floaty and subtle effect.
Tie dying
This isn't really relevant to my current degree work but I was just desperate to try it as i love the 'reworking' trend and definitely want to try this on some oversized white t shirts!
