It is the presentation of her work and the installation that attracts me to the work of Lucy Brown. I love the way in which she fills a space with her work. Although Brown makes use of old pieces of garments and fabric in her installation, the work in a way reminds me of threads and in certain areas knit, which I am very interested in as I think I will be specialising in knit this year but also cross into embroidery making use of the techniques I learnt last year to integrate into my knit work.
Dana Barness.
Again, the installation art work of Dana Barnes is a good example of the kind of context I would like to work towards, creating pieces of work to fill a space, and responding to a space by thinking about ways of creating space, line and structure within it. I also really like the way that Barnes has created such large, sturdy looking structures through knit, which Is usually seen as being quite soft and flimsy- this is something that I would like to create myself, as within my drawings I am focused on structure, line and shape which could be difficult to represent through a simple knit sample, but I am hoping that making use of embroidery skills I have learnt will make this accessible.
Ealish Wilson
Textile artist Ealish Wilsons work attracted me due to the way she has created structure and line in unusual ways. Her use of fringing and pleating is something that I'm really interested in due to my love for both knit and embroidery. I also find her colour choices really nice, and would like to spend more time myself getting to a stage where I am confident with use of colour within both my visual research and samples.
Summer Drawing sketchbook.
As I have expressed in the previous blog posts I have been very inspired by line, shape, space and especially architecture over the Summer due to my visit to Berlin and gallery visits so I have been experimenting with these key points throughout my sketchbook over summer. I have been focussing on the quality of line, composition, exploring shapes, collaging and layering. Overall, I think that I have started to create some interesting ideas and pieces which I would like to push and further explore in 2nd year and work into my practice/specialism.
