I think that in this project I have made strong connections
between my research (drawing etc.) and my final samples. I have studied the
shapes and forms in my research and tried to translate them through knit and
weave. I have translated the colours (tones and shades) and have also tried to
keep the textures in my drawings, but through varied yarns. The research aspect
of this project has also been strongly developed through this project with
drawings, photographs and artist inspiration.
I created a range of drawings, including
collages, in this particular drawing below
I began looking at bark and the textures and shapes within it – I did a
series of these drawings which I found to be successful in that it gave me inspiration
on how to translate the shapes and textures through yarns and into knit and
weave.
In this project I think that my
drawings have developed more – I made a series of detailed drawings using a
range of media, but I think that in future projects that I would like to push
myself further and use a range of scale – push the boundaries and work out of
my sketchbook. the possibilities of scale are endless.
In this project I have learnt that I have a ‘knack’
for the knitting machines and once the techniques were learnt I found it very
easy to push these techniques further – mixing techniques, yarns, colours and
translating my research into the knit samples. I enjoyed knit mor than weave as I found weave quite restricting.
This project I think that I have managed my time
well in that I have met all my deadlines – with all work finished at what I believe
to be a excellent standard, although I do think I could have put more time in
to push my work further. I think that I used my workshop time very well as I was
in the workshop – booked on a machine nearly every day.
