Project influences

My drawings are about shapes, patterns and using the positive and negative spaces of an image. I’ve also been cutting into paper and over lapping it. This really reminds me of using the laser cutter. Here are few designers who have used the laser cutter into fabric with amazing results.

I focused on the butterfly motifs in my drawings, with them a slightly illustrative look. The butterfly image is sp pretty and it gives me a whole range of colours and patterns to work with. I absolutely love the work of Damien Hirst who uses photos to arrange a butterfly pattern using a kaleidoscope. The colours are exquisite, with a beautiful abstract pattern. This would be a really useful and lovely technique to try when considering my digital print design work.
