Spent this week
bringing colour into my project. I have been working very two dimensional and
want to bring my components into my work.
I had an induction
onto the muilt head embroiderer and spent Wednesday morning putting together my
design to stitch up on Thursday I feel I understood the method well and it
could work with my idea to remake old ideas and give them a new life by
adapting the multi head embroider to look like lace.
TUTORIAL REVIEW
I have rethought my
ideas for presentation and decided to do a simpler photoshoot that does not
require such thought into location and styling. I will shoot the model in white
garments and use the displace method on photoshop to create the printed
garments.
After listening to my course
mates process in their projects and Alex’s feedback I realised I need to look
back at my initial research and experiment with everything I have. I have got
stuck on using my imagery of mouths and recreating that. My project has the
potential to be very strong but I have stayed working around one idea and got
bored of it and am struggling to progress further.
I need more visual
context to work from, I have been able to think about processes and technic but
I need to spend longer fine tuning it truly show the emotion in each drawing. I
am going to spend a day looking at objects that could work within this., either
finding context that from a distance looks like one thing and then reveals
another
Eg. illustrator lips
into paisley design.
Terrious beasties –
looks like 18th century French textile.
Or adapting something
ugly into beauty. Methods to do this could be by taking a flower and
photographing it at each stage to see the beauty die out of it and using this
to draw from. Taking something that when it is in it’s first cut but finding
beauty once control is taken away.
Development that is
not in your control.
Running dye down
fabric
Hiding unsettling
imagery in textiles we recognise.
Cauliflower ear
Twin tower – not know
what it is then informed and more shocking.
Burning objects that
we recognise.
Dan funderberg – looks
like traditional textiles but with venus fly traps
Objects to bury the
print. Half pattern half imagery you don’t know is there.
Israely designer – all
images are of people having surgery
Things to draw
Boy burying his head
in his hands
People shopping with
bags
Lamp posts
Scorpion from dads
photos
Lizard in sri lanka
Dead carcass in sri
lanka
Twin towns falling
Someone sat on the
train
Someone asleep on a
bench
Someone walking there
dog
People fighting
Child crying – iconic
image of girl crying
Iphone with violent
sceen on screen
Gun
Policeman
Handcuffs
Get imagery of
tradition textiles and on tracing paper adapt to mine.
