Today I came across a cermaic piece by Grayson Perry I was interested because the image depicts a woman surrounded by exotic items. Perhaps this represents a significant part of history - in terms of colonialism. The woman in the image is wearing a shawl like material that also has this element of red.

To develop this idea of the paisley design further I designed my own greatly influenced by the paisley prints I observed at the Bridewell.
At first I thought a single Paisley would be strong enough to represent its historical link with Norwich. However compositionally this was very weak. I then experimented with the idea of three paisleys in the centre and after much consideration I decided to see through that idea.
Like all postcards within the observation series the element of Norwich red is a key feature.
I then played with the idea of representing the weight of the material by superimposing the composition onto the page in a repetitive manner.
