SUMMER REFLECTION


Reflecting on Summer work I realised choosing a context is better decided at the end of a project - this has taken me away from Children's clothing, which was restrictive. I am now forcing myself to read my own research to professionalise and contextualise my textiles samples.

Retracing back through my research of un-appreciated beauty, to my photographs of tree bark, and noticing the decay and colours. I decided to spend the week producing various yarn wrappings from carefully selected threads to extract the colours and textures.

 
Tree Bark & Yarn Wrap (Colour/Texture exploration)


Late this week I visited the Jackson Pollock exhibition, at the TATE Liverpool, to help influence my drawings. This was a real insight into colour combinations and how texture can be created through layers of paint. I began to understand how painting can bond a relationship with the viewer, and that beauty is everywhere - lost or found.
