Touching elbows - Kate Gibb and Will Luz

I really love how highly experimental all of there work is. It is full of pattern , shape colour and texture and you really get an idea of process, play and that they enjoyed making the piece. This is something that I would really love to achieve during this module. I want to be more experimental , playful. Going to screen print and just printing with stencils instead of coming up with an elaborate Lino cuts. They could come after but I think my best way of getting this project off the ground is doing unplanned experimentation. From this I can then narrow it down more and nit pick the best bits and create image from this and mix that with Lino cuts.
Here are some examples of the fabrics that Touching elbows have created and you can still see the experimentation that has gone into them and how that has worked.

Really strong bold colours that are mixed with different variations of line and tone. The same shapes are used in the different designs the elements that have changes are the composition and colours. But this really helps to emphasis the fact that they are a series. Overlaying and having a lack of fear when approaching this seemed key. And keep re making the design until it is right helps to make sure that you are happy with it. Because I have found that from doing previous briefs that if you sink your teeth and really enjoy a briefs and are happy with the work then that helps to make the work stronger and your passion for it and the subject your tackling expands.
These are screen printed and have been placed onto furniture and are sold and just fabrics and I think it is a good example of how fabric pattern design can be sold in a wide variety of ways.
