Gränserna mellan ornamentik och improvisation är flytande

Abstract

The catchphrase this project has been; the boundaries between ornamentation and improvisation are fluid. My aim was to focus on my work process, giving me the space and time so develop my design further regarding shape, color and combination of different styles in patterns. This is an explorative project where patterns were created without a predetermined product of which the patterns would be applied. In a later stage the character of the pattern determined which product that would be most suitable for application. It resulted in a collection of patterns for wallpaper and clothing. The motives are foxes, geometrical shapes and squares from a notebook. These motives form an ornamental expression in the patterns with the purpose of embellishment and therefore increase the emotional value of the product.
