I have been invited by Megalo Print Studio to be part of Repeat Repeat, an exhibition of screen printed fabric lengths in June 2011.
This is a fantastic opportunity for me to explore some ideas which have been floating around for some time - as well as creating some fabrics for my house.
Idea # 1 is a continuation of an idea which was originally exhibited as a water colour in London - enlarged knitting.
So I started printing using different hues of blue and green. It started to remind me of the zillij mosaics found in Morocco.
Not convinced about the blues, I then tried a bold single colour....
Fun! I can imagine Red Knit as curtains - now I want to print this design in lots of bold colours: pink, orange, green ....... and imagine it as the upholstery for chair - groovy! I've found an old chair which would be perfect for this.... stay tuned to see the next installment

Hi Kate, beautiful design!

I'm seeing touches of the Islamic geometric designs and the Celtic knot designs. Looking pretty damn good so far.
ReplyDeleteI really need to learn about this dead space thing for my photography sometime.
And congrats on being invited to exhibit - I shall have to remember to head along to check it out in due course.
