Geo design collection.jpg

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.<br><br>Design inspired by 'Geometric design in beige, brown, orange and red, 1933' from MoDa's archive collection. <br>My Geo design is a response to the 1933 textile design. The geometric shapes depict the rhythm of an imaginary and stylised city scape. <br>I screen printed the repeat design pattern in different colourways, on a variety of fabrics including wool, silk and linen. Some of the fabrics were dyed beforehand. Carrots tops, pomegranate skins, red cabbage and dried elderberries are amongst the natural dyes I used to produce a background colour.<br>The dye pastes were made from scratch using bio-waste and plants extracts.
