research practices

I'm quite excited to work on my own again after the last project and to further practice designing for an accessory rather than a fashion garment.
I have chosen to research into Surrealism and Abstract Print and will combine the two ideas to create something which depicts both emotion (Dali and Man Ray) and structure (Mondrian and Kandinsky).

I'd like to create something which embodies these kind of romantic textures..

Fused together with a print for a distressed look which conveys emotions be they happy and bright or dark and moody.

I am hoping to combine these textures with a framework influenced by bondage and concertina details.
