Final Collection
My
final collection for this project, the self initiated “The Face”,
consists of 5 samples. During this project I have been able to
develop my skills in designing compositions which has lead to me
designing compositions that are effective enough to immediately make
my final collection. I have also found within this project I have
become more aware of the context of my work, seeing the potential for
other areas not just what initial thought. At the beginning of “The
Face” I had intended to make pieces for gallery exhibit, but the
more samples I made the more I began to see the potential in other
areas (blinds and dividers).
Gallery Visualizations
As
I had initially set out to make gallery pieces I have made
visualizations for that context, thy are very simple, as had been
intended. If I were to create these pieces for real I would like to
exhibit them in public or outside, as the work of Sotirova's
shows
it is far more effective due to light and invertible moment. The
compositions I have selected are influenced by Osterkamp's,
with
the small areas of intense patterning and the large expanses of
clear. The
techniques I chose to develop into the gallery pieces were chosen due
to their strong relations to my initial image and key development
images.
If I was to make these pieces for real I would like to take it a step
further and perhaps begin to join them to make either a sculpture or
large overall piece, the robust structure they embody would be well
suited to this kind of design.
Salt
The
area I saw more potential in
for my work was blinds and room dividers, after researching other
designers such as Salt and Creation
Baumann
my
eyes were opened to the potential my fabrics had.
Creation Baumann
Elements
that made my samples particularly good for the job were the
transparent monofilament and lurex, the stable structure of the
fabrics, and its lightweight appearance. After looking at Creation
Baumann's
blinds and curtains, with their translucent designs and cut out
patterns I could see how suitable my designs can be. After
researching Salt's work I felt the same way with the face that my
yarns were well suited and the structures I was using were attractive
in the way they carried light and shadows. The visualizations I have
made for these products are large scale and thus the detail of my
designs are lost but the overall effect is still positive with plenty
of light still available and a subtle texture covering the space. If
I was to develop this collection further I would like to experiment
more with incorporating Creation
Baumann's
techniques such as cutting away and the large scale design they use.
