Samples + Boarders

16th January 2024

On Tuesday I did a small book sample with some paper i would like to use to test the strength, this paper is 120/150gsm. I also experimented with adding boarders to the page to add a more handmade and artistic look to it. 
In my experiment I did a small sewing one, I like the idea of this but would like to do some more experiments, pre sticking the image down and using a straight needle over the rounded one, i also want to experiment with colours and the stitch lines. 
For the boarders i want to have 2-3 designs, a more simple one for the lace pieces, one for the lino printed on fabric and another for the images, i like the idea of more flora designed for the photo pieces to add more interest and also bring in the lace design to those pages. If i do pages that multiple layers on, i plan to not add a border to this as the page already have alot going on.
I like the look i get by using a paint brush and want ti experiment with using ink over watercolors, i also want to experiment with using shinny inks. I would also like to experiment with adding pen lines to the painted lines, so i can get more detailed pieces.
I started to design more geomatics and natural boarders as well as starting to add them to a page with an image/fabric.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...

Looking at two early works of Modernism (600-700 word) - 856 words total In this essay, I will examine two early Modernist movements, Fauvism and Cubism. Although both of these movements involve abstraction, they each emphasize different elements within their paintings. Fauvism focuses on colour while Cubism has a focus on form. Modernism is a global movement within the art community that emerged around the 20th century. Modernism is defined by artists who broke away from patron demands, forming the Avant-Garde. Modernism artists creates art based on their own vision, challenging social expectations and exploring new ideas and techniques that was once unachievable. The Industrial Revolution played crucial a role in this shift, as cheaper materials, like synthetic dyes, made it easier for artists to produce their work independently of patron support. Though this, artists began to push the boundaries on what is 'good' and 'bad' art, as well as rejecting old traditions. Fa...
