Disease and Decoration

An exercise in how any source of inspiration can be used to produce decorative design work.

 

IF...

This was produced as back up artwork for a range of soft furnishings as part of my machine embroidery qualification.  
The idea was the creation of a modern martyr.  Someone upon who all the diseases of humanity are afflicted, 
thereby leaving the rest of the world free of disease.  In its own way, a positive image.

Methods: Hand dyed fabric (procion dye and black tea), applique, couched cords, free machine embroidery and acrylic paint.
