Scarf Sung Blue
In summer 2018, artist and designer Patricia Vega started using plants from her garden in Mansfield as the star of her Bohemian in Blue silk scarf collection. She applies the botanical materials to silk scarves coated with a cyanotype emulsion and exposes them to sunlight, resulting in rich Prussian blue patterns that reflect the tranquility of her surroundings.
From Patricia Vega’s ‘Bohemian in Blue’ scarf collection.
“There’s something magical about this monochromatic effect that makes your eye wander, and find beauty and peace through the powerful colour,” she says.
