“With this pattern, I sought to create a composition with delicate line work that is both modern, graphic, and poetic (with some occasional vintage accent depending on the background color effect), The animals and plants read as stylized icons with fine interior detailing. I arranged the narrative vignettes in a conversational way, with no strict symmetry, quite the contrary, and I used negative spaces to allow each scene to breath. (I already had a few overlapping, packed hero patterns in the ” green cathedral / jungle”collection at that time), I needed to create a more airy repeat.)
“Inspired by the airy, illustrative elegance of Japanese Echino (with no geometrical shapes though) textiles, this pattern uses a tossed elements’ system.
It was paramount for me that the placing of the elements allows a “wandering eye” effect. The layout mimics a tossed repeat that feels accidental but is technically precise, with no rigid, mirrored symmetry but a search for asymmetrical balance
