Friday Drawing: Diesect and Interlink

24/01/2014

The brief for this weeks Friday Drawing was to develop an awareness of material, process and perspective through both constricting and expanding 2D and 3D drawings. 

The task set was to create a miquette, which was reflective of the 'Data' project and processes explored in the current textile world. 

Part 1 - Construct

To create a small 5x5cm miquette.

This was taken from work performed in the current Embroidery world, I decided to sew a spiral using the mateials within this weeks equipment list. 

Spiral miquette - Using a plastic lid to conserve the 'Data'. 

Part 2 - Interlink and Extend

This entailed observing the physical attributes, and extending them in your own way.

For this I simply created more of the same miquette, and gathered them together within a wall space - this was the corner of the room.

Part 3 - Observe and Develop

Using an A1 sheet of cartridge paper, we were asked to measure 5cm intervals along the length of the page, scoreing and creaseing to create a concertina book. 

Then using mark making and linear techniques I used a 2H pencil to draw from the instillation. I mainly focused on the shape of the yarn and the textures it created.

As recently I have been struggling within the Embroidery project with basically how to develop my samples - the Friday drawing day has definately helped to expand my sapmling ideas. As even though I attached the yarn in a spiral shape using a running stitch, it created the effect of a flower, with how the yarn was layered. And as flowers collect and store 'Data' I believe this to be an inspirational turning point within my project, further exploring the patterns and textures within flowers and plants, whilst also researching the 'Fibonacci Sequence'.
