BIO
Vaneet Bains is a Canadian textile designer inspired by the narratives around her and fueled by her passion for exploring new techniques and working with colours and elements of design. Working with both surface design and digital techniques, Vaneet focuses on the back and forth between the hand and the digital aspect in her work. She considers herself a ‘forever student,’ eager to work with traditional practices and yet still stay in tune with the latest digital era.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
FAMILY PORTRAITS
Family Portraits is a collection of digitally printed scarves with surface pattern designs based on the members of my family. Each design is created by the information that I have gathered by conducting interviews and through visual inspiration. By looking at how they dress, collecting their stories and things, they like, I create the motif that best represents and suits that individual. Each design builds on each other as mini-collections, forming a layered story of their individuality and relationship with my family.
