The Festival Pattern Group

The Festival Pattern Group- From Atoms to Patterns

I have been looking at the Festival Pattern Group as i find their work very interesting. They have used atomic structure to provide design inspiration which has been translated into making various furnishings for a house. I think both our works are similar as i use cell structure and nature in general to create repeat patterns which could also be considered print. I think my work is moving into textiles as i feel that it works better as print and my work is more related to that of textiles artists.

I really found it interesting how The Festival Pattern Group have created simple design yet they are effective, i think that i want to also stick with a circular shape as this seems to work best. I want to fragment the basic form of the cell such as the FPG and create symmetrical mirror images of these designs. I am now curious to work on material instead of paper to see the effect this would create and also use thread instead of just sticking to paper and pencil.
