SILKYSMOOTH

So I'm a textiles student at Central St. Martins in London, at foundation level, and, to say the least, am obsessed with print.

Recently in spare time I've been teaching myself photoshop and amateur graphic print design, so I've finally finished the first ideas and had them printed onto silk chiffon and hand hemmed.

Each print has a medical connotation; read on to read more.

You may be a little surprised to uncover that the print on this one features my own brain! Yes, that's right, After having an MRI scan, I decided to put the image to good use!

a print which started it's life as an x-ray image of a poor chap who has 6 toes [b&w version]

these prints came from an x-ray featuring a leg brace; one of those gadgets to keep you're bones in place using pins, not for the feint hearted!
