I had booked myself in to the print room quite early on into this project and I'm going to be honest, I was still trying to come up with some idea of what it was that I wanted to be doing. Although I found the SADACC gallery very beautiful, I was finding it difficult to pin point an aspect that I felt inspiring. The problem was, that it was all so inspiring, that I just felt lost and overwhelmed.
After many attempts at the very popular paisley patterns that seem to be everywhere recently, I began to get quite frustrated and so just began painting in a very linear style - at the time, I didn't expect to get as obsessed with it as I did (I've filled a whole sketch book with the things!)
It was just so relaxing - if ever you are feeling stressed or panicked, I would seriously recommend this as a relief method! I think that's why I became so attached the painting them.
It was also interesting to see how the Procion dyes were different on each fabric, they were much brighter when painted onto the satin (right)
