1.1.1 Identifying a Theme

Identifying a focus in my project has been a priority after entering my first textile world, knitting. I developed and analysed my drawings and photos to assist in this process. Feedback from my group tutorial has also helped me to identify the strongest 'chance card' studies from my sketchbook, and to highlight a theme in my work that is 'Pattern in Architecture'.
Images for my 'Map the City' task that embody pattern

'Pattern in Architecture' became a natural direction for my work as I am attracted to repeating forms and geometric structures. Throughout my project, I hope to develop this theme through drawings, photo editing and of course, through my Textile Worlds, that will be knitting, weaving, and print. Photography will also play a large part in my process, as I will continue to use it as a means to gather references and expand my subject matter.
Highlighted techniques from my sketchbook

These drawing were highlight in my tutorial due to their ability to combine both colour and pattern effectively. I love how all the studies use line in an original way to create new patterns from excising ones. My next steps will be to develop a colour pallet and subsequently integrate these techniques to my contextual references.
