happy new year everybody! here's wishing 2017 to be a blessed and positive year for all.
as my first post for the year, i wanted to share my experiences from my first semester in grad school. just a few weeks ago i completed and survived the fall semester at risd. it took awhile adjusting to living in a new country and becoming a full time student again. also, as strange a city providence is, it has its charm and grows on you overtime. in terms of school, i'm truly blessed with what i've been exposed to so far – working outside my comfort zone and exposed to new sources of inspiration and research. with the support of my classmates and faculty, i'm understanding the basics of textile design; learning new techniques such as dying methods and understanding the use of colour and repetition for application in pattern, as well as refining my skills in screen printing for textiles.
the photographs above are from my end of semester final presentation, showing everything i've worked on over the course of the last four months. you can see there's a lot of drawing, a lot of colour, and a lot of pattern! that pretty much sums up the pillars of printed textile design. there's still lots of learning to do, but based on feedback, i'm happy to say i'm on a good track to growing and developing my skills as a textile designer.
here's to the coming semesters in 2017 being as positive as the last. stay tuned for more upcoming posts on projects i'll be working on over the next few months.
