Ribbons! Ribbons! Ribbons!

I recently went fabric shopping in and around Cornwall for some new materials to work with. It was then that I rediscovered my love of all things ribbon related! I bought loads of ribbons and intend to create some masterful pieces of embriodery with them! I'll keep you posted with my creations!

Senses project 2008

This is the textiles work i produced for The Senses Exhibition in 2008 as part of a group Exhibition at the Walcot Chapel in Bath. Inever got round to posting the photographs so here a a few of my work!

Senses- An Interactive Textiles Exhibtion

Walcot Chapel, Walcot Street, Bath

I decided to work with the sense of touch within this work as i thought it linked nicely to textiles and different fibres and fabrics.
I began by eliminating colour from my work so the primary focus was on Touch and nothing else distracted from this.
I chose to work with the idea of pregnancy as this is an area i regard as touch, People both strangers and friends alike want to touch the pregnant belly as it is an almost magical experience.
I produced prints and knitted felt samples for the exhibition and made a preganant stomach out of clay which i then vacuum formed.

Identity Crisis

This piece was created when I documented the clothes I tried on everyday and then discarded for something else. I photographed all the clothes I chose not to wear and took patterns and inspirations from them to create this piece of work.
The piece was orginally drawn in ink, procian dyes and pen. I then over layed different drawings and printed it onto Somerset Satin paper.
