Fractal Pattern
I have spent the last half of 2018, designing, researching, testing and refining the application of fractal pattern to fabric. I have produced a set of designs explicitly to be digitally printed on silk and produced as scarves for the Griffith Gift Program. The fabric is produced by Scafos in Denmark as they are able to print on silk at a high level of saturation. Currently i am producing two ‘Patterns’ in rectangles and squares. The Liveworm studio of the Queensland College of Art have designed and produced die cut packing especially for the scarves, Chris Banbury is responsible for the Packaging design.
The artwork that I have had digitally printed on fabrics are renderings of small portions of mathematically infinite, three dimensional fractal structures. These structures are hybrid fractals, they are generated from the combination of two formulae, specifically non linear equations. The artwork represented arises from research and investigation into the aesthetic implications of complexity; that is, what shapes and forms are we humans attracted to?
