Moving Initial research on

I began thinking how to translate the components I like from the images into drawings, I used lots of transparent layering using acetate and tracing paper which Rihanna suggested I continue with and they were my strongest drawings. I tried different perspectives of ‘urban’ through drawing maps of built up areas, buildings from the street, people, buildings from a view of a far and abstract building lines to see what I wanted to refine to. I got a lot of good feedback from the map drawings I have done from peers and Rhianna’s feedback session but I personally don’t think it’s a route id like my work to go down. I found they had a geometrical feel and I think I have already experimented with this area in the past.

I always find group tutorials very helpful and feel much better about moving my work on after them, I work in a group in the studio but I feel like it benefits everyone seeing other peers work from different textile areas and work that you’ve not seen before. It can be very inspiring to try something new. From one of the other girls work I was influenced to try a digital approach and tried layering my images to see what different view I could create. I enjoyed working digitally but felt I was a bit restricted because I don’t know how to use the processes very well.
