This project is part of Ceres Artists in Residence at The Museum of Domestic Design &amp; Architecture (MoDA). The aim of the residency was to use objects from MoDA's collection as a starting point for exploration of natural prints and dyes with the aim of raising the awareness of sustainability in design research.<b><br></b><br><b>Gwen design</b>Design inspired by a 1930’s Christmas card design, called Winter Afternoon, by the artist Gwen White.<br>2 colour repeat, with overprinting and papercut out details.<br> Gwen design is one of my responses to a 1930’s Christmas card design, called Winter Afternoon, by the artist Gwen White. The pattern is inspired by strong shadows, furrows of the ploughed field, and stark shapes of the trees.<br> The design can be repeated as a block repeat.<br> The images show the design printed in three different colourways, and the artwork for the screen positives: 1 Silk: Chlorophyllin, Soda Ash, Madder, Citric, Indigo, Buckthorn, Logwood, Fustic 2 Linen: Madder, Brazilwood, Fustic, Logwood. 3 Silk: Rust dye. Brazilwood, Logwood, Citric, Buckthorn, Elderberry 4 Artwork to be transformed into screen print positives.<br> The design is printed, steamed to fix the dye-pastes, and washed by hand.

本项目为家居设计与建筑博物馆（The Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture, MoDA）旗下“西里斯驻留艺术家项目”（Ceres Artists in Residence）的组成部分。本次驻留项目以MoDA馆藏器物为创作起点，探索天然印花与染色工艺，旨在提升设计研究领域的可持续发展认知。

**格温设计（Gwen design）**
本设计灵感源自艺术家格温·怀特（Gwen White）于1930年创作的圣诞贺卡作品《冬日午后》（Winter Afternoon）。该设计采用双色循环排布，并结合叠印工艺与镂空剪纸细节。
格温设计是我针对格温·怀特《冬日午后》的创作回应之一，其图案取材于浓郁阴影、翻耕田地的垄沟，以及轮廓硬朗的树木形态。
本设计可作为块面重复图案进行循环延展。
本次展示的作品包含三种不同配色方案的印花成品，以及用于制作丝网印刷阳图底版的创作原稿：
1. 真丝面料：使用叶绿酸、纯碱、茜草、柠檬酸、靛蓝、沙棘、洋苏木、黄木树染色
2. 亚麻面料：使用茜草、巴西木、黄木树、洋苏木染色
3. 真丝面料：采用锈染工艺，搭配巴西木、洋苏木、柠檬酸、沙棘、接骨木果染色
4. 待转化为丝网印刷阳图底版的创作原稿
该设计经印刷、蒸化固色以及手工清洗完成制作。蒸化与水洗工序会使染料的色彩亮度与色深发生变化。
