Continuing on from creating my digital drawings to inform my practical samples, I have now begun to stitch these works to create physical pieces of work. Through incorporating the laser cut etching and stitch, a combination of new and old processes are combined. I am particularly enjoying creating these pieces as although they are very simple, they represent the timetable clearly whilst also creating a graphic graphic quality. The numbers from the airport timetable are represented through colours, quantity and line thickness.
Evelin Kasikov is a graphic designer who creates stitched illustrations. She uses typography, grid systems and design techniques to challenge the preconceptions of embroidery, whilst ensuring her work maintains a mathematical edge. I like her work due to its simple composition of colour and how there is a element of restrictions and rules to her pieces. These are factors that I try to incorporate into my work; setting rules to follow (such as numbers represented by a certain colour) and keeping a simple compostion of shapes and line from which to work from.
I have begun to create and design a website to ensure that I have a online presence to showcase my work. This has been a interesting process as it has allowed me to put the body of work into separate strands and see the different aspects that have been created. Below are screenshots of how the website is currently looking.
