“Spring & Autumn Flurry” Collection - Introduction, Concept and Processes
I am fortunate to live close to the iconic Australian wine-growing region, the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Because of the wine produced in this region, each season is important due to the various stages of the process. In summer the region comes alive with the harvest and wine growers are at their peak. In autumn, the abundant foliage of the Hunter Valley turns into beautiful shades of browns, oranges, reds and golds saturating the landscape with spectacular scenery. Winter is a time for rest, with the region being popular as a comfortable, snug getaway. In spring, the landscape is ready to be reborn and the once bare and stark vines spring to life with delicate light green foliage and flowers blooming everywhere.
My new, contemporary fabric design collection, “Spring & Autumn Flurry” stems from a unique series of designs that I created employing various mark making techniques and imagery to give a sense of the flurry of activity that occurs during the spring and autumn grape growing seasons in the Hunter region. With flowers and insects abounding among the vines I have endeavored to capture the ‘flurry’ of activity in a modern, timeless and unique design aesthetic.
The “Spring & Autumn Flurry”” Collection comes in two design formats and a number of color ways – “Spring Flurry” comes in three color ways - green, purple and magenta-red hues whilst “Autumn Flurry” comes in a multi color way.
“Spring Flurry”
As with all of my fabric designs, white fabrics, in this case cotton, were dyed and/or over dyed using time-honored hand dyeing techniques to add visual depth, pattern and contrast to the fabric background/s. To create visual depth using time-honored hand printing processes, the fabrics were then screen printed with multiple layers of hand drawn images, which give a sense of spectacular swirling and vibrant movement over the entire fabric lengths. Colors referenced the base dyed fabric hues which were inspired by the grape varieties grown in the Hunter Valley - chardonnay, semillon and verdelho among the whites, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot among the reds - with a final layer being printed in black giving contrast to the design. My hand drawn deconstructed flower/butterfly images were screen printed/over printed in a random, floating pattern over the entire fabric length. White pigment was employed to give contrast and visual depth to the richly hued and multi layered design.
“Autumn Flurry”
White cotton fabric was dyed in various ‘autumnal’ colors using time-honored hand dyeing techniques to add visual depth, pattern and contrast to the fabric background. The dye colors were heavily applied to certain sections of the fabric leaving softer hue applications throughout other sections of the piece. This gave the fabric design a rich colored and luminous base giving a sense of changing seasonal hues and varying degrees of light.
To create visual depth using time-honored hand printing processes, the fabric was then screen printed with multiple layers of hand drawn images in various ‘autumnal’ hues, which gives a sense of spectacular swirling and vibrant movement over the entire fabric length. Colors referenced the base dyed fabric hues. Employing opaque and metallic pigments, images of scattered, decaying botanic flora and leaves were screen printed/over printed in a random, floating pattern over the entire fabric length giving contrast and visual depth to the richly hued and multi layered design.
The fabric and patterning in the “Spring & Autumn Flurry” Collection is available in the color ways that are mentioned so that you are able to create a truly unique and individual statement piece. “Spring & Autumn Flurry” Collection fabric lengths and fat quarters can be used for wearable art, accessories, quilts, furnishing, as framed artworks and interior design projects.
