Week two of fashion and textiles and we are moving from 2D to 3D as we did in 3D spacial.  Both these areas have this similitude ; first we start  drawing to generate ideas and the next step is to make these images more 3D. In fashion textiles this involved photo manipulation.
Over the weekend I looked back at the work I did in my mini sketch book about Deltas. This work was more interesting than the work I did in the studios which was pretty poor. This idea of rivers "compressing" from thousands of tributaries to one single river interested me. I  played with the idea a bit more and came up with a pattern which I liked. The pattern was evocative of the theme; pressed flowers and pages of old books (compressed speech? Why not ?!). These "tears" made of paper, sand paper, tissue and flowers went well with the fine line that would later become wire when I would make some final pieces for the crit on Friday.
After today, fashion textiles seems to be my favourite area, but who knows....
