In Summery unit X has been a great platform to explore the
outside world and work towards a real brief. Although I personally have particularly found
this unit difficult due to my circumstances, and I haven’t been able to attend
all the classes which has made it very difficult and it’s been very hard to
stay focused not seeing my tutor every week or working in a university environment.
I feel this has let my work down and I haven’t been able to show my full
potential but even so I have been able to produce some outcomes.
After becoming a national trust member I decided to explore
some local buildings which I thought I might find of interest but unfortunately
wasn’t getting any inspiration from them. So I decided that instead of looking at
buildings of local sites which contained artefacts and painting. I would look
at their gardens instead where I could find textual inspiration. My samples have been produced using imagery
of trees and bark from National Trust gardens, which lead me onto my interest
for fabric manipulation where I taught myself to create different types of
smocking which I did find interesting.
I feel that these samples could have been taken a lot further
than they did but could the outcomes could still be used in craft items either
in 2d scanned prints or the 3d textiles for items such as cushions etc. like
shown on my blog.
This project has shown me how artists sell their work
through craft avenues and shown me how collaboration can be used as an
advantage when producing work, even though I haven’t been able to do this
myself I think after researching artists who have, I know have knowledge to do
so in the future.
