Product Development in Textiles and Surface Design

 
We have finally arrived at are final project of the year! 
 
Having been working on it for a good 6 weeks now, intense pressure is building up as the deadline approaches. I thought I would take you to my starting point where it all inspired me to focus on...Microbiology!
 
Always been influenced my natural/organic forms in my work. I did struggle at the start of how I can take this further and have a different approach on natural elements, I was afraid I would fall back into my usual similar habits of going into my comfort zone of floral motifs but researching in depth also reflecting back on my previous work and unique style I decided to look in closer thinking detail, mark making which lead me to microscopic organisms made up of cells. 
 
I am wanting to capture the incredible mark making and pattern formations that cells can create. Through intense magnification, the different layers beneath the surface and the actual shapes and patterning of the cell structure, cluster arrangements they provide. I feel it gives a rich new world of amazing and surprising decorative surfaces which I would love to explore into.     
   
 
 
Here are a few examples of an in-depth study of microscope organisms which have really inspired me and taken me through development work with pattern mark making, shape, structure and detail.
