Process
After a photo-shoot, I start working on the 'raw image material' using digital processing tools. Playing around with the composition, layers, colors and all the other possibilities offered by these tools is a lot of fun and often surprising. But besides the obvious aesthetic requirements, a usable pattern also has to meet a series of technical specifications.
A selection of the resulting patterns is then used for digital printing on textile. This part is outsourced to specialized professional printers. The nice thing about digital printing, compared to earlier textile-printing techniques, is that it allows for amazing detail, beautiful colour gradients, as wel as infinite numbers of colours.
I prefer silk, because it is organic, and because its beautiful shine brings out the colours of my designs best.
