Three Words Project: Design Development

Moving on from my initial ideas on octopus tentacles (derived from surreal imagery in my own dreams) I began to look at limbs and hands and how they might, in a dream like scenario morph into tentacles.

I am pleased with my experimentation with paint on my own hands and well this looks photographed then collaged.

I set myself the target to create more physical, textural samples and am happy with the 8 painted textile samples I have created both as colour studies in their own right and ideas for final product fabrications.

I have continued sketching in a prolific way and find sticking to the same colour palette a sure way to procure consistency throughout my project.

As my design process draws to a close I am refining my abundant research and design development material into a succinct collection that capitalises upon my original ideas of surrealist dream imagery (tentacles), Bacon texture and colour, and elaborate hand inspired decoration.
