Personal Project-Landscape
My mini portfolio consists of three projects. The first three images are from the current project I am working on, the Personal Project-Landscape. I took photographs in North Yorkshire to gain some inspiration. My initial aim was to capture the precise colours in the photographs and reflect them in my work. I then experimented with different markings on the paper to represent similar textures which are in the countryside. Vincent Van Gogh inspired the first painting technique I used. Experimenting with the size of my work was something I was eager to achieve, so I dyed A1 papers and used a stick and ink to draw my knitted fabric samples and weaves. Also, I combined PVA, soil, and grass and painted on top of the A1 paper to bring features of the countryside into my own work, this also enabled me to work on top of something which was uneven. The previous project I worked on was the Urban Project. I took close up photographs of road markings and walls in Manchester. I was most interested in the colours and qualities I found in my images. I distressed a variety of papers to capture the qualities of the deteriorated walls and roads. I found oil pastels successful as I thought they reflected the similar textures and overall look of the road markings. I then developed the paper samples into thick felt which I made myself and experimented by pleating and folding. The last slide is research from the fashionometry project.
