Self - Initiated Project Brief


This unit apart from alongside a live brief project, I will identifying and focusing on an area of specialism and a context for work which reflects personal interests and professional ambitions in relation to contemporary practices.

My area of specialism is embroidery, hand-stitch and machine.

What are you aiming to create/make/design?

 

A narrative textiles piece. Using illustration to outline the story characters. Exploring the scales and composition.

 

What visual research will be undertaken?

 

Research of birds, observing the moment and translate it into my own drawings.

 

Explain any themes, ideas or concepts you plan to explore.

 

The original story is ‘The Crow and Peacock, who is happy’ that I have based this work on.

 

 

What methods, techniques or lines of enquiry do you intend to use?

 

Blanket, mixed techniques from both hand stich, machine stitch and print.  At this stage I am working with my strengths in embroidery and combining with other techniques that are most relevant to this.

 

 

How does the intended work/project relate to previous work?

 

Intentions; urban influences where I observed subject matter and my observations.  The technique of observation has shifted from man-made to natural subjects. The subject matter is less static now, for example the bird flies and has characteristics that I can represent.  I have doodled whilst observing the natural world.

 

 
 

What is the market or context for your proposed work?

 

62 group artists as inspiration.  Gallery and exhibition pieces as oppose to high street products.  The texture and handmade quality would be lost in mass production.
