Lindsey Heath - Reclamation Reinvention

Reclamation reinvention is a project that I have been working on about taking old objects and giving them a new sense of life. For example an old chair or bookcase, and then changing how it looks to make it look new and modern. Reusing the unwanted to create interesting pieces.

As I want to work with interiors I decided to design and create my own prints, which I would then transfer onto fabric for the chair that I had chosen to re-cover. I took my inspiration from domestic interiors for my pattern ideas, and developed these ideas to reach my final outcome. I wanted to keep my prints simple and bold in both colour and design, as the interiors period that influenced me was the 1950's and I tried to reflect this in my work in a more modern way.

This image below is an example of the prints that I have been creating to be incorporated onto my piece of furniture. I have tried to keep with a 1950's interiors style colour scheme.
