The images I have chosen for my mini portfolio are some of my favourite pieces of work from my foundation course so far. It’s a compilation of textiles, photography, life drawing and research.
The images demonstrate my interest in colour and texture. As part of a one day group task to show our initiative, we used wet wipes to create a garment with a really different and unusual texture. Texture was the theme of my alphabet collage, and I also explored photography, creating a found alphabet in the environment.
As an example of life drawing I have chosen a page of short 5 minute colour studies because I really enjoyed experimenting with mixed media and collage. I love to draw and sketch, especially quick drawings using techniques such as continuous line with pen and water.
We were asked to reinvent a shirt. I transformed my shirt into a lampshade and I think it worked well because the outcome was completely different from where I started with an old school shirt. I found that researching the history of the shirt was really interesting, from looking at shirts from the 17th century to the history of women’s shirts.
Recently, our brief was ‘Skeletal Structures` where I decided to look at the structure of fabrics. I experimented with a range of knitted samples and drew them to create a pattern. This was my favourite brief so far because I had the chance to experiment with knitting, which I love!
