Final project for my Screen printing: Patterns class. Pattern and finished neckpiece deals with the use of animal parts in the fashion industry. Articles of fashion that use animal parts (fur, for example) are often seen as luxurious and plush. This pattern and neckpiece is a stark contrast to that idea. The pattern looks pleasing from afar, but when the viewer gets closer, they are able to see that something is not quite right with the animals. The neckpiece itself is also tight around the neck and uncomfortable for the wearer.
Screen print on 100% cotton with natural embellishments such as: seashells, hemp cord, pumice stone beads & pieces of tree branches.
