PE Task

Throughout my Sampling project I have research and linked my work to artists and designers. Claire Anne O'briens work of intricate continuously repeated, block colour Knits with tiny, delicate detail that bring together her beautiful interior textile pieces. I feel in relation to how this has inspired and moved forward my work is that I to have looked into intricate shapes and movement, from circuit board structure to more organic living organs with a circular feel. Also moving elements like cells transforming and blood movements. In the future I would like to look into developing my work on to a larger scale and seeing how I could use them in a professional environment.

My work into ladder structures

Research into the brain.

After attending a lecture from Claire Anne o'brien herself I found myself more inspired by how hard she worked and how she is interested in material manipulation and development. To create these 3D textile forms and the way she uses solid colour to enhances them. She explain that to be a freelance designer there are lots of different jobs and it will be very versatile.

I really like the look and visual impact of Jan Garsides weave work. It has this fluid feeling almost like movement to it with a beautiful delicate edge, adorned with mesmerising details, for example added beads and extra threads. However all in a monochrome colour scheme, this does not however draw away from the visual eye-catching piece of work. I have used this idea and incorporated elastic and wools into my own weave work to change the shape giving the impact of movement. To develop my work I would like to look into adding extra details like beads.

I can also see some visual comparison between my development work and the work of Ismini Samanidou. This can been seen by looking into how he uses backgrounds, with a calm natural background and a bold inlay of structure and colour. I have incorporated this more into my work by inlaying on colour wools on top of my weave design. I have used yarns such as mohair. I also like the uses of one bold colour, I feel that this give a impressive first visual impact, Especially in my colour scheme.

This is one of my very first weave designs.

I believe that looking into contextual research has helped me to push and development my drawings and practical textile work, to lead into my final designs and ideas. I feel that I could know see my own work as a professional garment or in a gallery exhibition. I feel that my work fits well with the data brief and am happy with my samples.
