Produced during a university fashion textile rotation, this work within the print series investigates fluid colour transitions and the erosion of structured boundaries. The composition emerged from pulling an unblended mixture of salvaged textile pigments directly across the screen frame, allowing the distinct hues to merge organically during the process. The title references this literal convergence, where separate paths dissolve into a singular, fluid field. This early exploration of bleeding, interconnected layers establishes a direct evolutionary link to the deep background fields that sit beneath the heavy containment structures of the contemporary portfolio.
