Michael Kidner Textile Brief

Figure 1: Experimenting repeat on Photoshop: ​

It was later printed onto fabric and embroidered on top. As shown in Figure two, that the hand embroidery work on the design was minimal. Therefore, I plan to create more samples that includes more embroidery work and put my strength to use.  ​

Further development of this work will include sampling and garments that have different compositions of the eye for more commercial uses.

Figure 3: Repeat

 

I am planning to experiment more of spacing within my designs, for comparing it to Figure 2 Repeat, I much prefers Figure 2 Repeat, for the design are much more straight forward, for in Figure 3, the eye are becoming much less like the form of an eye, due to compositioning.  On first look, the eye becomes indistinguishable in itself but more part of a larger motif.

In Reference back to the Bradford project where I developed the foxes eyes. ​

I have decided to expand on making sample for the whole facial expression. For I have realised the true purpose of eyebrows are for expression.​

I can develop this into more expressive facial features.  I realised that eyebrows help convey emotions and will build this into more of a portrait style.

Figure 1: Sketchbook Drawing ​

I had a change of direction especially in subject matter:​

I am translating the human eye into a series of pieces to explain the emotion; anger,disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise.

I was struggling on being inspired by Michael Kidner’s work. ​

For the eye have been throughout historical events and took part of being meaningful.​

 ​

Working on the narrative of subject in other word, such as for example, the baby eyes may not be develop to see clearly yet, However, it is a develop progress. ​

I am experimenting with different types of eyes, such as heavily make up eyes also show a sight of personally.​
