This project was inspired by one aspect of a summer sketchbook - a trip to the Sea Life center. I did various quick drawings of marine life, focusing more on octopi.
I developed these drawings into a screen design, and created some block prints for accents
I then did various screenprint techniques (overprint, two colour, repeat, etc) with different colour schemes based on different audiences.
I went to see a band called Hawkwind, and they had a silks dancer. The flow of her movements and the light, airy silk inspired me to look at costumes for aerial/circus performers. I created this costume from upcycled materials - jeans, rags, and old buttons. There are also handmade ceramic buttons, foiling and free machine embroidery
