The catalyst for this work was my interest in the natural environment, primarily investigating beach, forest and rural locations gathering visual research interrogating textures, colours and forms. This research was under-pinned by exploring Renaissance paintings who’s subject matter reflected a romantic gaze at the natural environment. The creation of complex thread-wraps and digital compositions from this research where every colour, saturation, hue and proportion is considered dovetailed with complex compositions testing out exhaustive colour combinations were the foundation of my knitted fabric experiments. The final collection of knitted samples is an exercise in colour theory where exhaustive blending of yarns and threads results in a timeless range of fabric for a fashion context.
