Collections Brief inspiration

Rosie James is a major influence for my collections project. I have chosen her to focus on for the majority of the project because of her interesting methods and technical aspects.James uses images of crowds and transforms them by adding layers of different fabric to create the background for her pieces and has then worked over the top with bondaweb patches in shapes and silhouettes of the people in her photos, she then works over the top of that with machine embroidery to create more detail to the figures such as clothes and facial features.

Checkout David Oliveira. A truly unique artist who creates amazing "scribble work" with wire that he suspends form ceilings, walls and chairs e.c.t. He molds the wire into portraits, clothes, human features, nature and animals all from scratch. Really love his work, its inspiring and unique.

 

Collections Project.

I have decided to base my collections on Post stamps and family photos, the aim of this project is to create a collection of samples which you have made yourself from research and other methods.

 

Artist research and my own interpretations.

 

Rosie James, a free hand embroidery artist who

 bases her collections on crowds of people. I chose to base my initial research on James as I love the way she has used easy 3-dimensional subjects and turns them into textile pieces.

 Turner, a historical artist who mainly works with

watercolour to create an atmospheric landscape of scenery that could also be translated into an old family photo. I also like the colour scheme in which Turner uses like the Oranges and Yellows against the deep browns and blacks.

I have used a mixture of textile and art medias to create my own stamp marks.

Transfer print and free hand machine embroidery from

 one of my own family photos and a collected photo. 

 

I've just set up an online portfolio you might want to have a look at if you would like to see my work in more detail. Feel free to comment if you have any questions :).

What are PDF Files?????

A PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe Systems so people could open these files and that would be readable by all different types of software without having to get new software giving the meaning of portability. Its flexibility mean it can also handle video, text and picture files.
