“The majority of my work is inspired by the scientific. I like to look for patterns in nature and I use a microscope to examine various collected materials. The minute cell structures of a fish scale inspired a whole range of prints for my recent degree show. I also explore scale in my work and make the very small, very large (some of my cell structure prints are over 130cm tall). I find screen printing to be an enormously expressive medium for my work and I relish the potential for it’s translation into textile print design. Textiles featured heavily in my show both as the actual imagery and as the format for some prints.”
Madeleine Ritchie has just graduated in Illustration from GSA Vis Com. She plans to continue her love of screen printing and will also be housing an installation in a tree at the revered Secret Garden Party festival. You can see more of her work through her site: madeleineritchie.co.uk
