Experimenting with film

During the process of this project, I planned to introduce embroidery within my works. As in the last unit – Sampling -, sadly I did not have a chance to combine embroidery and Print together, as I intended to.

I have been inspired by La Cineteca Del Comune Di Bologna’s film - Danza Serpentina, 1869.

Danza Sperpentina, 1869

 

 

This has led me to think of ways to combine drawings, film and embroidery together.

I experimented with painting nail vanish on top of the film and rolling it back and playing it.
