Dating back centuries, wallpaper was once a hand-printed and hand-painted luxury based on the practice of hanging expensive patterned silks and pictorial tapestries. However, through the mechanization and industrialization of print processes, the cultural cache around commercial wallpaper diminished. In this course, students re-engage the lexicon of printed and painted cloth to explore notions of "interiority." How might surfaces (walls, beds, tables, floors, windows) be draped with printed fabrics to materialize interior landscapes and imagined worlds? Using analog processes, students create interior fabrics that convey decorative, social, sexual, linguistic, political, intimate, and/or cultural narratives. This course is open to students in ALL majors without prerequisites, but may be of special interest to students in Fashion, Interior Design, Illustration, and Painting/Drawing.
