Bokashi - to distort
Continuing exploration into the use of combined digital and traditional print, primarily this research is concerned with developing a new approach to 'print on demand' digital textile printing. In particular I wish to challenge the notion that due to the high spec. technology employed in direct to fabric digital print it should therefore be an instantaneous and consistant process; and that irregularities and imperfection are considered undesirable attributes.
The project concept stems directly from both my technical role - producing high quality output digital textile prints and from the use of traditional print techniques in my own creative practice; my intention is to hybridize the process with a particular emphasis on the use of craft / haptic techniques to generate deliberate visual abstractions in the more homogenous process of digital application.
Though I am hoping the outcome will be a methodology which other practitioners and students may adopt the primary objective is to define and contribute an alternative context for direct to fabric digital technology.
Please feel welcome to comment on the research as it progresses.
