'What might have been lost...'

So I think I should probably outline what my final piece is and what information it provides through the textile medium.

So through the research I conducted I found statistics which showed (in a bar chart) select contries yearly consumption rates of tea. This intrigued me because I think we can all agree drinking tea is the epitome of Britishness, and yes United Kingdom was top of the list.

So I wanted to translate this information in a textile form using some of the processes I had learnt this term and sampled in.

So for example I had used a trial and error method to reproduce a tea bag out of fabric (unfortunately I don't have any photos of these) and I wanted to incorporate this into my final piece.

So eventually I chose three countries from the statistics I had found and then translated these to my final pieces...

This is what I produced -

Italy - 0.1kgs


United Kingdom - 2.3kgs

Switzerland - 0.4kgs
