Retro Textile Patterns

Patterns which reflect and personify 'self'..solipsistic? All my initial digital fabric work has begun with an image reflecting an emotional epiphany; kaleidoscopic trees, a child's doodle, an Australian sunset concealing a devil in disguise or have been taken from eclectic sources which are personally iconic ie. film, slide and photographic film and printed ephemera.

Some of my designs have then been transferred from digital to dirndl, with the material steamed, washed and hung with care by Becky the Beautiful. Each piece is a sketchbook reflection; a snapshot taken and manipulated from a facet of daily life and the fabric chosen is an example of the subject portrayed - depicting a slice or swathe of humanity perhaps?
