ELSA – Whitewash. ruskea

Designer: Elizabeth Salonen When designing patterns, I like to include signs of imperfection. We spend a lot of time at the screens, so breaking away from me and creating something tangible is important to my well-being. I like trying different materials and processes, and it helps my post-work development. The Whitewash pattern was created by painting with a dry brush on uneven paper - you can see a lot of movement in the patterns. After bringing the pattern into digital form, I transformed it into a continuum of oversized stripes, creating an artistic version of the classic stripe patterns.
