Task 1 - Blackburn Museum - South Asian

The woven textiles in the South Asian collection in Blackburn Museum caught my eye because of the intricate details in the charming weave and decorative embroidery. Just through the few objects show you can see the very colourful culture. Through further research I found out the textiles and art form on display was becoming rarer and rarer because the market has changed due to cheeper mass production growing in South Asia that imitating the traditional fabrics. 

I found the patterns inspiring and if I was to do I print based project I could draw influence from the pattern, however I would use a simpler colour pallet.
