Over the Christmas period I have focused my project more
strongly into the major, minor and live projects and I think this will help me
in developing each part further. For the
major project I will work on a large scale wall piece looking at network data. The minor project will work alongside this by using paper as
my medium to create a series of drawings. For the live project, I am working towards the brief for the L'Auguille en Fete show in Paris in February. By defining each
section it has allowed me to further my work and ideas more clearly.
I visited the ‘Material Lab’ a material studio for designers and architects in London as I wanted to see if they had any potential surfaces that could be used for my major project as I wanted something that was more solid than fabric but not as rigid as wood. It was suggested I look into rubber and I also received some interesting wood and textur samples. It was a fascinating and insightful resource to visit as their selection of possible materials was endless and the samples of what could be done with certain materials was exciting.

I visited the Pens and Needles #2 at KK Outlet in Hoxton, London which had a series of digitally embroidered posters by a variety of designers based upon Kandinsky’s psychological test. It was very interesting to see what was produced by using a set of rules and a limited colour pattern and how different each piece was despite beginning with the same instruction. Through the means of digital embroidery it has shown the value of stitch as an alternative way of drawing and mark making, in particular as many of the designers involved do not usually work with embroidery.
