'Make you feel my love...'

 

The top image here shows three samples mounted onto one board. The board presents a collection of ideas on how to combine various materials as well as different text. I was also experimenting with colour, trying to finalize a colour palette for my final pieces.



 

 

Again the top image shows a board with three varying samples presented on it. I was partiularly enjoying the use of handmade felt in neutral colours. Especially the two samples which have been pictured above.

This was a sample that was displayed on its own; it was created by using both machine stitch and hand embroidery into handmade felt. I particularly like how I left the threads hanging; I felt it created a worn or aged look to the sample.

'Everytime we say goodbye...'

This a4 piece was constructed from a combination of tea stained scrim, paint and tracing paper and then mounted onto card to give support.

I wanted to create something simple but that implied romance, which I think I succeeded in due to the use of text.

I made two, to be displayed next to each other. I used the same processes but had slight differences to experiment with the possibility of a series.

Below are some photographs of certain sections to give an idea of the texture of the piece and the text used.

'Let me give my love to you...'

So it's all over, the exhibition has been taken down and I got my grade which I am really happy with. It's on to the next chapter of my life but first it's time to enjoy the summer!

I managed to get some photos of the supporting work that I displayed alongside my final piece for my exhibition. I'm gonna do a few posts about them so I can talk about each one individually.
