As I am drawn to layers and transparency in my design work I decided to look at the work of contemporary artist Stuart Russell. He is a textile designer producing hand printed fabrics. His ideas for design projects are usually inspired from his obsession of traditional textiles and other contemporary artists. He gathers and collects random information as his starting point. HIs backing cloths from his studio become pieces of art that that he now sells. HIs layered prints are beautiful along with the composition. The more you look at the prints you start to see little bits of intricate detail, and shapes etc. that are hidden under the layers of paint. He designs print for clothing and interiors.
