78 Derngate is a place of inspiration, with images that stay with you long after visiting.
Patterns, texture and colour are everywhere, whether large and impactful or in up close detail, it is easy to find pleasing and interesting compositions – especially when viewed through the eye of a camera. Stripes, zig zags, clean sharp lines, colour, all feature strongly in the house. Taken out of context these compositions become quite abstract, but still very much part of MacIntosh’s vision.
‘I had the most enjoyable time visiting the house and taking lots of photos of the interior. Finding strange shapes, lines and forms when viewed from a different angle with the camera lens. Taking these images and then playing with them in Photoshop and other digital art packages enabled me to create original pieces of textile work. As innovators of modern design, I wonder if Charles Rennie Macintosh and his wife Mary MacDonald would have approved of technology! ‘
Artist own photographs, digitally manipulated and enhanced, printed onto fabric. Free motion quilted.
