Water Project - ComON Textprint Competition

For this project i began by drawing directly from moving water and photographing it. The image below was particularly important to the project - the flowing water of the over spill of a canal



The project was a self written brief, the Key words I chose to work towards within this project were; Transparent, Fluidity, Ripples and Vigorous. The main aims within the project was to capture the movement of the water through experimental mark making and layering up of materials to capture the different aspects of the waters qualities. This encouraged me to use a lot of transparent papers acetates and cut work within my design development. To capture the movement of the water and create strong line qualities I experimented with marbling and placing inks and paints in water to transfer on to different papers.
