Taking Inspiration from McQueen

My tutor Pamela told me about Alexander McQueen's famous 'Spray Paint Dress' (Spring/ Summer 1999) where 2 robots sprayed paint onto a plain white dress the model was wearing on the catwalk, which then went on to be sold.

Here's the link to McQueen's SS 1999 catwalk show if you want to see the spray paint dress: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reK0A1XIjKA

This got me thinking about the marks fabrics can leave behind. So I took a cloth that had been dipped in paint and made marks on a page with it. Here are the results...

 

I also tried making marks and tracks with Indian ink by pouring it on a page and moving it around the page using a hairdryer.
