1.3.3 Developing Ideas

Structure Inspired Images

Here are some of my initial drawings, based around my theme, they are directly inspired by the robust structures of the towering thrill rides found at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. In these examples I have experimented with layering, repeating and distorting sizes, I chose to do this as the dense accumulation of rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach was lively and repetitive, with parts of rides overlapping and multiple sizes alongside one-another. Now that my option choice of Weave and Stitch has been confirmed, I can develop these patterns into my weave samples by using them as subtle decoration within the weave and as bold embroidery backgrounds in stitch.

Within this project I would like to have two meaningful and connected sides to my work. One being the pattern and structure of the samples, that will naturally be inspired by the form of the thrill rides themselves. The other will be the texture, reflecting the reactions to thrill rides through all the signs of fear I have discovered. One artist that has triggered ideas and designs for this side of my work is Sue Hotchkins, I chose her due to the worn appearance she uses, which has been done extremely well; displaying both uncontrollable natural wear along side controlled embellishment. This avenue of continuing to work on a samples finishes is an area I am eager to experiment with. After researching artists and designers work on Pinterest I have been able to extract many ways I can translate my signs of fear into my samples that will make them tactile and meaningful.
