Week 4 setting the scene

Studio Practice 1

Setting the scene of the project with the Chine colle printing process experimentation with paper and cotton material. The printing process continued with relief printing onto textiles. The varied outcomes provided opportunity for concept development.

Concept development Experimentation

The photographic imagery of red ribbon in the local area enhanced with Photoshop techniques sourced from tutor, Isabella Walker. A big thank you for your help.

The photographic images transferred onto textiles with Image Transfer techniques of cellophane and fabric paste.

The concept idea of holistic health and wellbeing commissioned poetry and sourced copyright free reiki music.

The commission poem written in fabric pens and embroidery onto relief printed textiles provided interesting outcomes. The music “Natural Tranquillity” sourced from Staff member A Johnston was combined with Photographic images.

The challenge of combining music and photography was helped by Tutor Rob.McDermitt with Apple Mac techniques.

The Cyanotype printing process continued with Photographic imagery converted into negative imagery. The negative imagery was laser photocopied onto acetate.

The Cyanotype Process preparation required a dark room. The photo sensitive chemicals were put onto textiles with the help of Tutor, Catherine King
