Drawing day - Bleach and ink

Bleach and ink drawing day. I really enjoyed this as the outcome of adding the ink brought a new layer of detail to my work. Which i would like to bring in to knit and weave in my textile world of Construct.
This inspired me to look at journeys and links we can create and find.
I found this work be Alice Keyon inspirational and love how detailed and flowing her work is.

Measuring and Mapping

At the start of my sampling unit I started researching data. I found the concept of recording data around me and the data I caused a challenging task. I keep in mind themes like time, movement, space, recording, journeys and connections.
I choose to visit Manchester City Art Gallery where i view all the exhibitions including the Grayson Perry Exhibition which I found interesting. I recorded my journey from the minute I left my front door to the moment i returned, recording what I saw, what i found interesting and what I found inspirational. I found that I was more interested in repeated items and shapes, especially if there were metallic and technological objects. I also found it personally interesting in learning how i as an individual walk around a art gallery.
