I wanted to include some more of my 'destruction of beauty' samples to update you on my foundation course work. I am still experimenting and deciding what I want to do for my final garments, however I have enjoyed using different, strange materials and want to carry on using most of the techniques I have discovered along the way! I love how most of my favourite ideas were discovered by mistake and by accidents I made along the way, this is what makes my project and the art foundation in itself so interesting!
I have included more transfer printing and silk screen printing, however this time I have added some more burning into my work and have refined my ideas more. My work is now starting to relate more to my ideas and I can see it all coming together a bit better!
I hope you like my samples even if they are a bit overly destroyed and strange!
 |
| Print screen samples using multiple colours |
 |
| Transfer print sample with gorilla glue. This expanded and changed colour as it dried which I wasn't expecting. |
 |
| Transfer print cut with a scalpel, then dipped in black paint with pieces of rusty metal, this is supposed to relate to the pollution of the sea with oil spills and washed up deberry. |
 |
| Ripped transfer print with twigs burnt into it. It was then dipped into brown paint to represent mud with more twigs sprinkled on top. |
 |
| A ruined print screen copy with twigs burnt into it. I like the shape this created. |
 |
| Negative screen print with pieces of wood burnt into it. My burnt samples represent burning down rainforests. |
 |
| Original negative teal screen print with wood added to it. I then print screened back over it in a lighter colour which stood out against the darker teal green. I also ripped the other side to add more destruction. |
 |
| Screen print on silk with a sheer fabric folded over the top. |
 |
| Screen print on stitched together silk using bright summery colours. I also added pieces of rusty metal as the rust colour went well with the oranges and yellows. I used the wire brush to destroy and fray the bottom. |
 |
| Shiny silk transfer print with stapled together pleats and hole punches. |
 |
| Instead of throwing away all of my scraps I decided to staple them all together, I really liked this effect and might experiment more with this sample. |
Two transfer prints using silicone, I really liked the bright baby blue colour, however this didn't dry so I can't really see myself using this in future work.
I also tried out laser cutting which I really enjoyed. I drew my own pattern and then scanned it into the computer. I had to keep changing the settings depending on the thickness of each fabric. My favourite materials to use were synthetic silks and leathers. On the silk it made the fabric so delicate and almost lacey whereas on the leather it only engraved the pattern on. I am considering using this technique for my final garments.
So as you can see, I have tried out many more strange materials and techniques which I have really enjoyed using. I have many more I would like to try out before moving on to finalising my ideas and finally creating my final garments which we only have a few more weeks to do (scary!). Let me know what you think about my project so far!
Thanks for reading,
Love from Georgia
