“Wallflower III” – Introduction, Concept and Processes
My new, contemporary fabric design range, “Wallflower III” stems from a unique series of designs based on images of my post-graffiti artwork depicting distressed, worn, aged and organic botanic illustrations originally found in illustrated books and now reinterpreted on contemporary urban walls. Being a little on the ‘funky’ side, “Wallflower III” has also been designed to inspire and celebrate this creative and original art form of present day urban graffiti and in doing so, capturing a modern, timeless and unique post-graffiti design aesthetic of our times.
The “Wallflower III” range comes in two color ways - one on a denim blue dyed background, the second on a warm magenta dyed background.
As with all of my fabric designs, the base fabrics were dyed using time-honored hand dyeing techniques to add visual depth, pattern and contrast to the fabric background/s.
The dyed fabric/s were now ready for printing the complex surface layers using time-honored hand printing processes. Employing one of my post-graffiti images, the base dyed layers were screen printed in various modes over the entire fabric length/s creating randomly printed and deconstructed background imagery. The next layer employed a ‘cracked surface’ image, which was randomly screen printed over the entire fabric length/s creating additional texture and visual depth to the design. The fourth layer employed stenciling leaf designs in metallic pigment over the entire fabric length/s creating a visual juxtaposition to the previous base colors. The fifth layer employed ‘botanical berry’ images, which were screen printed in a half drop repeat mode in metallic pigment. The final layer employed my ‘wallflower botanical’ image which was screen printed in a half drop repeat mode in metallic gold pigment. The completed fabric design consisted of multiple complex layers of imagery creating a richly hued, multi layered, sumptuous and deconstructed, three-dimensional appearance to the surface of the fabrics.
The fabric and patterning in the “Wallflower III” range can be designed using variations of the above color ways and patterning techniques to create a truly unique and individual statement. ““Wallflower III” fabric lengths and fat quarters can be used for wearable art, accessories, quilts, furnishing, as framed artworks and interior design projects. Please contact me to discuss further options.
