Alchemy

Alchemy is a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination. I used the word alchemy and the element of earth to inspire me in this textile piece. I focused on plants as the basis of this piece which is taken from the element of earth in hope to transform a simple flower or leaf into a detailed textile piece. I explored the following processes; print, dyeing, machine embroidery and manipulation of fabric and combined these techniques together. I produced different colours, shapes and fabrics to create various patterns. My main objective for this piece is to reflect plants and nature into my work through their shape and colour by using various natural techniques. It is also interesting to see how the piece changes over time through colour and plant decomposition, which refers back to the word Alchemy.
