From my presentation, it was suggested that I look at
transport fabrics and this idea led me back to my original research of looking
at timetables and networks within Manchester. Initially I looked at the seating
fabric of the buses in Manchester but due to the lack of variation I was soon
drawn back to looking at the timetables and facts and figures surrounding the
journeys. This data has now become more
enjoyable to work with in comparison to my ‘personal’ data as I feel that it is
a set of accurate data that cannot be changed. By looking at
the bus times and journey routes number I have translated them into a set of
patterns whilst still incorporating the colours of the bus seat fabric.
For the live project I have begun to work on a larger scale which is something I have not taken on before. I initially was going to create my wall piece in a number of sections and join them up but after sampling this method, it became apparent that the joining stitch disrupted the flow of the piece. As a result I am working on one big piece of cloth which is proving more challenging but the effect and movement of the lines is then not lost.
I looked at the work of Richard Anuszkiewicz, who is a american
painter and sculptor who works in a very optical way, regularly incorporating
line in his work. I love his strong vivid use of colour and the combinations he
puts together. Through his choice of colour, line thickness and repetitive
geometric formation he allows us to really focus on the piece of work.
