Nature's Rhythm
Spring/Summer 2011
My starting influence for my final major project was my newly found passion for Art Nouveau, especially the 'whiplash line' and Japanese woodblock prints by artists such as Katsushika Hokusai. The fluid and organic style within these historic artworks inspired me to explore the concept of movement and motion found in nature.
My initial drawings consisted of organic growth, clouds, florals and sea creatures such as jellyfish. I wanted my prints to flow as if moving and clash energetic bold designs with more subtle tranquil shapes. To achieve this I experimented with variety of different techniques and through this I developed aesthetically pleasing designs, immersing the viewer in the desired mood.
As a textile print designer I feel I have established my own style which is still commercially viable; dreamy yet beautiful, feminine but striking; and organic surreal vision of nature's rhythm.
