Harvest Harlequin
As a further development of line, shape and texture, my complementary project is inspired by my 3-dimentional drawings from my main project. I have recreated these digitally to develop into patterns and designs which showcase a more abstract approach to my work.
By exploiting the capabilities of the jacquard loom, I have explored scale, abstract patterns and geometric shapes using a variety of wefts, structures and techniques. To balance my bold designs, I have incorporated a paired back palette of natural tones reflected in my primary research.
The collection is designed for interior applications, particularly curtains and cushions, considering its drape quality, scale and texture. I have also explored using my fabrics for lampshades. My fabrics are reversible which gives added versatility.
Using the same, soil friendly, types of yarn as my main project, this complementary work continues the same responsible approach to the environment.
