This project began as a response to jazz music, graphic notations and the hierarchy of jazz band structure. From riso animation to fabric design, this project enabled endless forms of experimentation, leading to multiple applications of design.

Inspired by composer John Cage’s systems of indeterminacy, chance operations and removing the ego, I created frameworks where the process of generating the design existed through randomness and improvisation– the outcomes prioritising interaction between the viewer and the piece, much like a composer and orchestra or the music and listener.

This Project centred around the idea of call and response within Jazz music. The letters used come from jazz chords and the layered three dimensional effect stems from the idea that sound takes up space and creates an atmosphere. I printed these on a cotton calico as a way to create texture and movement.
