By changing to work on photographs rather than with collections I feel it has helped my work to become more relatable. I tried working with different medias such as printing, hand and machine embroidery, appliqué. For the size I was after what I found was that screen printing didn’t quite work the lines were too thick and it distorted the images.
I have been trying to think of ways in which I want to
display my work and what I want it to show. Talking with my lecturer we
discussed how by using the same image and developing it in different ways might
be interesting. By doing this I’m hoping that at first viewers might not
realise that it is the same image until taking a second glance. This also allows
me to play around with different techniques and colour combinations. I wanted
to not just have my final samples slapped right in the centre of the fabric I
like the idea of having quite long almost like scrolls with the embroidery at
the bottom. For displaying my work of assessment I decided to mount them onto
mount board but for an actual exhibition I feel this wouldn’t be the best way
to display my pieces. I would like to actual transform these individual piece
into one piece. It was photographs that first inspired me and I want to relate
it back to that I can envision them stitched together forming a sort of photo
album of my work.
