BRIEF
To develop surfaces using different kinds of techniques based off an inspiration. In my case, the inspiration is derived from the Hrinkar Teerth Jain Temple, situated beside the Vijayawada-Guntur Highway.
MINDMAPPING & RESEARCH
TYPES OF JAIN TEMPLES AND MAIN COMPONENTS IN JAIN TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE
MOODBOARD & COLOR SCHEME
CARDBOARD EXPLORATIONS
Studying the form of the chosen inspiration and deriving simple patterns/layouts to further translate into fabric swatches.
FINAL SWATCHES
All swatches are made up of three layers- Base Layer (Muslin Fabric), Middle Layer (Foam Sheet), and Upper Layer (Polyester Fabric).
Purpose: To provide stability and sturdiness, similar to the attributes of the chosen inspiration, i.e. the temple architecture.
Common Techniques Used Throughout: Sewing, Cording, Stuffing and Machine Embroidery
