From a self-initiated project, I developed artwork around the theme of ‘everyday life'. The reason I chose this was because I wanted to work on a theme that was not a phenomenon but something that exists in the world we live in and could easily be overlooked. I wanted to re observe my surroundings with fresh eyes as an artist. Starting in the towns and city in the working week in the day especially around lunchtimes - I visited urban and suburban markets, watching people move around different shops - second hand and vintage as well as record shops - and how they interacted with each other and with buskers. From that initial study I investigated everyday home life, preparing a meal -'because what is more everyday than making dinner' - tidying a room -cleaning etc. From the meal preparation I looked at the food waste - onion skins from the diced onions that I had fried. I also thought about the food ingredients that I had used as an artist may thinks about their materials - rather than as a cook - asking myself if these materials could be reused as dyes or materials for my design work. I steamed the onion skins, which left a reduced liquor of pale brown which I used to dye a variety of fabric samples. I experimented with different constructions of materials from fine silks, basked woven cottons and heavier carpet like brocades and velvet. I settled on silk chiffon as this symbolised the fine sheer waxy onion skins and the way it reacted to the stitching produced an interesting bobbly effect replicating a cellular, vegetal look. This work took on the look of a coral reef and once again I started to think about life under the sea. These samples and fashion drawings are made from fabric that I dyed using onion skins.

as the near by site was full with one given grade of grain then we had to take them in. maarja was sampling. tom was on a grid, which was again slow one.

These Fashion Textile samples are ones I did at the beginning of my course when experimenting with the heat press. I used materials like paper and safety pins to make marks on the fabric and I used foiling to make the silver effect of the safety pin mark. My brief for these samples was 'Heavy Metal' so I spent most of my time developing my original samples, because they came out too light, whereas I needed dark samples to match my colour samples. I used the safety pins and foiling to match the metalic concept of 'Heavy Metal'. Although some of my samples seem blurry, this is the actual effect on the fabric as the ink was starting to wear off the print, I think this is an effective print because it creates an illusion when you look at it.
