Concept.

After visiting several archives and creating several drawings I am beginning to see where I want my work to go. I created drawings from the things that I saw at the archives I always drawn to vivid patterns, floral items and baroque (esk) styles. I then wanted to be able to combine all these factors and create my own style so I began creating collages from the drawings that I had done. I wanted to have a very layered feeling to my work with depth. I wanted my work to have all these vintage patterns that you often see with in the textile industry but add a modern twist too them by combining them all together. I took inspiration from a lot of old patterns from former student at MMU which I found in the library special collections and from artists such as William Morris. I want to take the idea of old traditional patterns and bring them into this day and age to make them modern.
