I created this wallpaper using the screen-print method. I used my hand drawn fractal image as the basis for the pattern as I prefer the added textures and flaws that these manual techniques provide. I could have transfered my pattern into digital software to polish the lines and improve the joins, and if this was being produced for a commercial environment I would have done this. However, for me the manual processes of producing the work is just as important and enjoyable as the result, so I try as much as possible to maintain these methods.
Many of my designs begin life as a 2D pattern or image before moving forward to more innovative ideas. With this design, I now plan to incorporate it into a fabric piece using the capillary-action method from my previous work, and attempt to "grow" the fractal pattern on the fabric wall hanging.
