Justina:

try interactions between textiles and paint to bridge the space between the materials; make a small test of each of the following:

paint human forms directly on patterned fabric (not canvas)

paint the fabric pattern on canvas to mimic the original fabric (similar to what Kehinde Wiley does here: http://artcreationstation.wordpress.com/2010/06/20/artist-kehinde-wiley/  )

Cover the patterned fabric lightly with Gesso and then paint on the fabric
