Feedback Post-It
Before
we began our second half the Unit X project we participated in a
group crit, during which we were able to see everyone else’s
approach to the project and what to expect in the stitch section of
the unit. Being able to see others work was helpful as it gave me an
indication of collection variations and sizes. The most useful aspect
by far was the feedback from other pupils and the tutors (above
image); as written I was advised to define my colour pallet, explore
three-dimensional forms, and define the liner quality of my work.
Matthew Shlian
My
first response to the feedback was to do more research into
three-dimensional and liner artist/designers, I directed my research
to find designers that kept to the geometrical pattern of the thrill
rides. Matthew Shlian is a fabulous artist and fulfils my desires of
form, structure while also adding an element of movement. This
element of movement is a feature perfect for my theme of thrill rides
and reactions as naturally they rely on movement to create the thrill; stitch techniques that I could use to implement this
movement are darts and pleats.
Mika Barr
Another three-dimensional
artist I found is Mika Barr, she uses the same structural aspect but
less defined; I chose this designer, not due to the subtleness but
the combination she applies to her pieces, because of the way she
creates her fabric means the pattern works as a print and as the
bases for the structures. Implementing this dual purpose in something
I would like to investigate in my samples.
Andy Gilmore
After
the all-over patterned work of Mika Barr I began to look into flat
designs, keeping to the geometrical theme, I would like to explore
print/surface designs in my samples to add another edge of movement
and construction. Andy Gilmore was one of the most exciting artist I
found using intricate liner designs alongside features I have already
used; layering, scale and repetition. Moving onto print design is
something I am eager to do as I believe it would be very effective to
tie together two themes of texture and structure.
