Over the summer our tutor set a optional project to create a edition of one thing.
I have always been interested with structuring and manipulating fabric; with this in mind, I set myself the title of Coils, Curves, Swirls and Cones. This lead me to draw a collection of shells i gathered on holiday in Florida. The shells coiled, and swirled, with curves and most of them were cones. To develop my drawings I began to manipulate cotton and calico, twists, folding and wrapping.
I feel this task has been the introduction to my first project for when I go back to University in September. I want to go on to explore methods of structuring fabric, such as using startch, stitch methods as well as other forms of manipulation. I am really excited to continue this title further!
fold, twist, pull, nip, turn, squeeze, roll, coil, push, crunch, bend, pleat.....
