Moving on from last week I have begun to enlarge my drawings
and work on my colour scheme. Whilst the drawings still have a
linear quality to them the lines started to appear as shapes which I like
as it has given me more to work with. I have also worked on my colour scheme as
before I was just using the colours that were available to me. From maps and travel schedules of Manchester, I extracted colours from the keys as it will begin to give more of an identity to my work.
I visited the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair in
Spinningfields and it was a very worthwhile trip as it exposed me to what
current artists and designers are making and how they are selling and promoting
their work. I particularly liked the work of Ness Donnelly who intricately stitches
geometric patterns onto paper to create images for the wall. Her context and
method are similar to how I am intending my work to be seen and it has given me something to aim for and be motivated by.
