Unit X - The Brainless Deer

Figure 1: Sampling

Reflecting on my previous unit’s work where I have a limited range of fabrics, this project enabled me to use different fabrics. Using found material, (light cotton) to match the characters’ mood and looking at collaboration within the materials, how do I interrupted it with my skills in drawing and my skill in embroidery.


Using the book Being a Beast by Charles Foster, 2016. As a researching material for my project, understanding, discovering animals nature through Foster’s eye, through my imagination, afterthoughts.   


Figure 2: Sampling

Using my work experience at Alexander McQueen and use that within my embroidery skills.

Bringing in the work of sequins into my work, yet, I believe the craftsmanship of needle techniques are important. Therefore, I am translating my focus point onto fabric, I plan to experiment on different scales, and scenes within the story. I am aiming to balance within hand embroidery techniques and sequinning. 




Figure 3: Costume Design Embroidery on Game of Throne (TV Series)

I am inspired by the richness of embroidery on costume design.  This costume is for Lannister: (G.O.T) and also bring in the element of the Lion’s character within my samples.  I am experimenting with gold threads within my work.  I am impressed by the texture within this work and I am looking at developing this into my lion work.  It is very representative of a lion.   The lion here represents revenge. The lion is medieval and is a great scale for the costume.

The deer is also evident in this narrative (G.O.T) costume design is a subtle way to reflect the tale.
The use of red is drastically different from the pallet I am choosing to use.  Royal red is represented and I wish to use blues to move from kingdom to godliness and saints.
