I have to explore the relationship between the thread and the surface
further and how the thread interacts with different materials. I have begun to
explore wrapping the thread and the results that can be achieved from this and I
have enjoyed this process as I feel there is potential
to keep exploring and pushing the idea. By wrapping the thread I feel
that I have a stronger connection to the material and that the drawings and flat
surface embroideries are brought to life as the samples become more textural.
I have been able to further explore what a line can be and the work of Katherine Hinsberg demonstrates just how diverse the concept of a line can be. During the exhibition Cloth and Memory at the Salts Mill, she used a single red thread to represent the dimensions of the space of the room and then wove the thread. Through using the line of the thread she has represented both the space and the history of the building, as it was originally a textile mill . The idea of using thread as a method of measuring is something to explore, in particular in response to my thread wrappings.
