Fringed Tulip Toile

Referencing an archive document, Fringed Tulip Toile is reimagined as a distressed batik style print. Double-headed parrot tulips and roses appear in weathered form, aged yet still beautiful, antiqued yet grandiose. This textured, stripped back design mimics the technique of extract printing; a special block printing process which removes a colour to create a lightened effect, almost bleached to reveal the design in a new light. Printed on a linen union for upholstery use.
