PROJECTS:

In this pandemic period I want to take some time to connect with nature. I simply come back to my appreciation for all these life-giving sources. In this project I will bring you guys along with my whole process from going into the nature, taking pictures, editing pictures, forming a colorcard, designing bags in sketches, fabric manipulation, making swatches and samples to making an end sample. Take photo's in nature (zoom in and zoom out), focus on silhouettes, colors, structure and composition and details. Edit photos if needed, maybe some photoshop to digitalise elements to turn it even more interesting. Mixing nature with digitalising? Or nature with craftsmanship translated into my own language. There are so many symobols in nature that can be used to communicate ideas. We often go back to florals, they represent ideas of beauty, delicate-ness and fragility, which are stereotypically associated with femininity. I want to take them apart, transforming their presentation or how they are printed, roughen them up, fading, glitched, considering how I am reshaping stereotypes.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Bag handles are made by Ottolinger and I transformed into new digital design paired with nature elements!
