Garden Delights I & II”
Introduction, Concept and Processes
My new, contemporary fabric design range, “Garden Delights I & II” is based on some of my favorite personal species of plants – the Australian Waratah with its spectacular large flower heads, the Australian Banksia with its characteristic flower spikes and fruiting “cones”, and the Asian Ginkgo Biloba tree with its unique fan shaped leaves. Here, images of the above three species have been created and printed to capture a modern, timeless and unique design aesthetic.
The “Garden Delights I & II” range comes in two design formats and colorways – one tightly printed in high contrast colors on a dark background, the second printed in a more open format on a soft toned background.
As with all of my fabric designs, the base fabrics were dyed and/or over dyed using time-honored hand dyeing techniques to add visual depth, pattern and contrast to the fabric backgrounds.
“Garden Delights I” started as one of my digitally printed fabrics (“Leaves Transformed” see https://artquill.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/leaves-transformed-new-collection-of.html) which was over dyed in black-grey shades. The digitally patterned background acts a subtle nuance and gives a greater illusion of depth to the finished print. Using time-honored hand printing processes the over dyed fabric was then tightly screen printed with multiple complex layers of images consisting of banksia’s, waratah’s and ginkgo leaves over the entire fabric length. High contrast colors using opaque and metallic pigments were chosen to create a visually rich and multi layered graphic-like surface.
“Garden Delights II” started as a white piece of fabric which was dyed using numerous soft toned colors with a linear structure to the background design. This gave the piece a formal design structure for the printing of the images. Similar in print mode to “Garden Delights I” the dyed fabric was screen printed with multiple complex layers of images consisting of banksia’s, waratah’s and ginkgo leaves over the entire fabric length. The individual elements in the piece were printed in a more open format to allow the dyed patterned background to interact with the surface colors and images. Colors which featured in the dyed background were chosen for printing the images using opaque and metallic pigments to create a richly hued and multi layered surface.
The fabric and patterning in the “Garden Delights I & II” range can be designed using variations of the above colorways and patterning techniques to create a truly unique and individual statement. “Garden Delights I & II” fabric lengths and fat quarters can be used for wearable art, accessories, quilts, furnishing, as framed artworks and interior design projects. Please email me at - Marie-Therese - to discuss further options.
