Decision time!

We have decided on our final piece for this project.
It will be a series of bonnets with prints made from draping fabric, with prints inspired by maps and germs (sketch by Alice to follow).
I'm just showing you my favourite sample that i've done so far, as I think it really relates to the idea of maps and germs, and a journey.


I have experimented with it on a mannequin to see how it looks in different ways, but I think the most relevant was how it looks draping, perhaps over the shoulder or behind on the back:


For the final piece, I'm thinking more colour, more prints from other people in the group to layer to create the draping fabric. 

I'm also working on creating more hand-drawn maps like these on to fabric, and then, as discussed by Sonia and I, filming footsteps with pressure-sensitive paint walking along through the map.
