AS WE MOVE closer towards our second presentation deadline, this week was spent finalising surface designs and deciding which colourways worked best. With regard to surface designs, last week's musings were taken seriously and a print involving an abstract bamboo grove was developed that also mimicked a stripe. The graphic simplicity of that is juxtaposed against a more elaborate large-scale repeat based on a chrysanthemum motif.
DURING A PREVIOUS critique, someone in class remarked that "space does not equate simplicity" and it struck me that I found the chrysanthemum print to be just as appealing as the bamboo stripe even though it was more elaborate. There, again, lies some form of tension.
Fin.
