INNER OUTER - Part II: Dye Sublimation Prints

Inner Outer is a print collection built on the belief that we are shaped into the people we are by the everyday surfaces and objects we come in contact with. The collection is a combination of digital prints and dye sublimation prints intended for an apparel collection that embraces the hybridization of loungewear and outer apparel. Part II of the Inner Outer print collection highlights the dye sublimation prints and the resulting sewn compositions. I cast domestic spaces and vernacular possessions in paper and then preserved the abstracted shapes and characteristics of the forms by painting the cast objects with disperse dyes. After heat pressing the studies into one of a kind dye sublimation prints, I scanned the studies and digitally collaged them. From the resulting digitally printed fabric and dye sublimation prints I sewed compositions that showcase the pattern interaction, the materiality and potential application.
