Liliya Sotirova
Sotirova
have
influenced me in this choice. Although
both of there work done not inspire fully there are strong elements
that I am keen to incorporate and consider while making my samples,
for example Osterkamp's
use of proportions is delightful (Below). I am fond of the way she
uses concentrated sections of texture which is balanced by even
larger sections of plain weave. When making my samples I would like
to focus on this textured “busy” section and then add the plain
section during the visualization process.

Sotirova's work its self dose not appeal to me, what dose makes her
work so inspiring is her use of yarns and most importantly her
presentation. The way she uses monofilament and thin fine yarns to
make the most of her samples is truly amazing (Above). Exhibiting
most of her pieces is a natural environment, the
fine yarns makes them seem almost part of the surroundings yet
foreign at the same time. The piece that stood out most for me was "Whenever" as its constant interaction with the atmosphere makes
a new piece appear almost every moment, this interaction with
surroundings through either placement or simply yarn is something I
would like to explore within my own sampling.
