Commission Project, The End Result.




For the final prints I started to look at pinecones. The final screen prints I made were based
on looking at them from an ariel view. I experimented with different layers
of colours and added a background using a blank screen.

As the Prints for the final outcome could be on a larger scale to the smaller boxes
 I felt that the background would look plain, therefore I filled this using machine embroidery and cutting into the fabric to reveal a new colour and layer.

The Boxes captured in their location of The Arkwright Building.

Fabric Boxes

Using my own screen prints of flowers I have formed small cubed boxes which were

smaller samples for my commission work. I formed the boxes by using hand stitch along the edges, which created a delicate appearance to them.

On later samples I have sewn into them and used machine embroidery techniques to embelish them. I tested types of machine embroidery out so that it would be an option for when I increased the scale piece, for my commissioned final piece.

I wanted to use a variety of colour, and I have worked a lot with different colours and doing sample screen prints of colour to help me reach and decided upon my final colour palete.

Below are some Machine Embroidery Samples. I think the colour choices compliment the embroidery

and the different methods which I have tried out.

Second Year, Commission Project.

The Location:

The Arkwright Building, Nottingham Trent University.

Second Year - First Term, Life Drawing.

Both of these life drawings have been formed from a continuous singular line.

I quite like the unprecise effect it creates with the line and the differet qualities.

The drawing on the right has been created from only looking at the model and not the piece of paper,

which I repeated and worked on top of. I like the variation of line and also the layering of the images.

The drawings below are all focusing on light and dark using pencil crayon and also pastels to capture how the light shapes around the different forms of the body. While still making decisions with the line

that you put on the paper.

 

Examples of first year work.

Collagraph Prints

Metal leaves, made from copper. Heated up and hammered to work in a surface texture and pattern which replicates leaves.

Small leaf, which has been hit into a dome shape to form a bowl structure.

Leaves which have been worked into by hand and then put together by hand using rivets.

Glass

Sand Blasting.

Fused Bullseye Glass with drilled holes to form necklaces.

Ceramics

Pinch Pot

Pinch pot and coiling technique built up, with added texture on top.
