17th November Tutorial


This weeks tutorial has made me feel confident that the final development I have done and the pieces that I've chosen and that I'm producing as final samples are going to be a successful set of final samples.  I just need to ensure that my final pieces are as neat and proffesional as possible when being presented which is obviously key when presenting.

 
As i mentioned last week, I decided to make use of PVC for its weight and transparency to reflect these visible layers which are in a lot of my drawing work and used embroidery along with foils to add some of the vibrncy of colour into the pieces which will lay over some of my other final samples. I'm really happy with they way these PVC pieces have turned out, and I love the use of foils on them which work much better on fabric than they did on my knits to add this vibrancy seen in modern architecture that i captured in my drawings.


By simply increasing the size of previous samples such as this e wrapped piece in a dark cotton denim I am really happy with the outcome for one of my final samples. Like with the initial samples, I really like the shapes and representation on my visual research in this particular piece, and by being much bigger this makes the detail and composition much better to view. Something else I'm really interested in in some of my final pieces are the way in which both the front side and the back side of the knit or embroidery piece are interesting, meaning that if they where to be viewed as I'd like them to be ideally 360 degrees around then they would be fit to do so.


 
Use of lighter yarns in this acetate piece with strips woven up between ladders has improved the overall look really well and this enables the details of the drawings on the actual acetate to be seen much better than previously. I think that if I had more time to develop this project I would definitely push this idea further as out of all my final pieces this is one my favourites due to its experimental nature.

 
I'm glad that I decided to have a couple of my final samples as simple fabrics with very detailed pieces of embroidery on them which will be mounted on their own, as I think that these connect my pieces of knit and overlays of embroidery through the colour and compositions which relate as well to my visual research as my knit pieces do.
 
 
Composing final pieces.
 
As I have intended throughout the project to have these overlays of fabric with details of embroidery and colour on them I have spent some time this week experimenting with different ways of doing so. This has obviouslt been really helpful in decision making in terms of what will be mounted together and what works well together.
