Today I started to work into the prints and I started to research into the more scientific side of growths such as the rotting and how it occurs I went to the local library and got books out on building decay and landform decay such as acid rain, weathering. How the earth naturally decays and deconstructs. I started to look at the shapes and forms or rusting and rotting and the textures.
This made me realise that if I was intending on creating textiles I would further need to consider the materials, perhaps create the texture of mould on a piece of fabric? I should look at materials like felt, wool an hessian and perhaps consider processes like devore, where the upper part of the fabric is eaten away much like rust each away at the surface of metal. I started to read and look at Radical fashion a book I got out from the library, I found more images and inspiration by looking at work by Margiela and Jean Paul Gaultier. Margiela has created work using sunlight and fading and the ripped aspect of clothes.
