Philip Edward Harding Pattern Work, 2018 - 2019

|
In September 2017 my brother began sleeping in my art studio. I won’t go into details here but briefly, we were able to get him a diagnosis, that of early onset dementia. With a diagnosis he could get disability and in March of 2020, just before the start of the pandemic, he was able to move out of my studio and into a group home. During those few years I wasn’t able to do any drawing and painting in the studio and instead retreated into the digital realm, where I started making patterns, of which those below are just a small sample. For most of these I would start by sampling one of my earlier works of art, mirror it vertically and horizontally to form a repeat unit, them go about modifying it in what felt like a near infinite number of ways. I didn’t have a use for them but near the end I submitted the set below to eight to ten fabric makers. Three were polite enough to send rejection letters but the rest were ghosts. I had a few of them printed on fabrics on my own with mixed results. More recently I’ve been adapting some of the motifs to pendant designs. More on that once they are ready to show. |
