This week I have been focusing on my context.I am aiming to create a collection of wall
pieces that are based on using the thread as a measuring
instrument. Alongside this I aim to create a series of paper based work. I want my work to have meaning and the information embedded within it and to be created in response to a set of data. The following designers are all working towards a similar context of where I see my work sitting.
Fay McCaul is a textile designer who uses traditional knitting methods to create textile surfaces for wall coverings, partitions and installations. Her work can be found online at Bespoke Global as well as being seen at trade fair such as Clerkenwell Design Week and TENT, both in London . She also works to commison and will customise the work if required.

Emily Barletta is a artist who uses stitch as her method of drawing. Her hand embroidered work is created alongside scupltural crochet pieces. Her work is shown through various exhibitions in America, most recently Repetition and Ritual at the Minnesota Musuem of Art. As well as being sold through online outlets such as 'Mammoth and Co' and 'Garage Gallery'. This highlights that there is a market for stitched paper drawings to be created alongside more substantial work.
I visited the Special collections exhibition ‘The Language
of Process: How New Materials and Technologies are Changing Product Design’. Within
the exhibition there were two pieces by Fluid Forms, an Austrian company who focus
on creating ‘design your own products’ based on factors such as location. It
was a very worthwhile visit as it allowed me to see other products that are
being aimed at being bespoke and commisioned and to see how they are marketing their products
to the customer.
