Illustration Friday - Wrinkles


I wanted to explore wrinkles, creases and folds in flexible surfaces like paper, foil and fabrics - and also the opposite of that. I drew an iron because it literally creates a surface that smooths out wrinkles. After all sorts of disastrous shenanigans - burning my fingers tracing the iron, getting stuck to sofa, covering entire room in shreds of corrugated card - I escaped to the printroom to make this stencil on top of treated papers.

  1. Oh well, it was worth it! I hope your fingers are ok. This came out really nicely. I like that its not figurative and a bit more abstract... not such an obvious interpretation of the theme. I really like it!

  3. Very cool creative leap from the theme to this image. This is really beautiful, especially those great textures.
