First fabric experiment.

Taking part of the observations I did from anatomical drawings I decided to cut a Lino to then transfer into digital format then  screen print it onto fabric. The reason for doing this is because I really wanted to try and create a patterns motif with the intention of when people see it they see the pattern first them desirer the image further to understand what it is.

I wanted to screen print it onto fabric because I really wanted to try stitching into it to add that extra bit of detail and to see what kind of effected it would have on the image. I do think though that now I have done this it make the image quite complicated but it dose give darker tines to the image.

I also really like the concept of stitching being a stereotypical female activity. Girls and women in the past used to do it loads in order to prepare them for a life managing the home, but I think switching the context around and using it to communicate a social message is rebellious and braking the traction that it is a domestic art form that is only acceptable for women to do.

Liking the colour pallet and I think that the blue is a good colour to use for the idea but some elements in the image where there is cross over are hard to see , so think more white space may be needed.

I really like the aesthetic of it too, if adjusted could be used of commercial products? would help spread the wider message and have a current and popular topic that individuals can relate to.
