Construct - Weave: Developed

Following formative feedback from peers and my tutor I decided to experiment with more textured yarns as well as looking at weaving techniques to change the surface of the fabric. Here I have added a colourful extra weft to help brighten up this black and white warp. I have also tried very hard to contrast my yarns in order to get the full effect and create a considered composition.

I also found that the way I was presenting my research appeared to resemble patchwork (an area I am very interested in) and so I tried to use looms with warps and patterns that would best reflect this.

Again in these samples I was looking to create a patchwork kind of effect using my colour pallet. I also experimented with floats and thickness of yarn. I feel this definitely reflects my research which seems to be starting to draw focus on plants and their environments. 

I was also very pleased to find an artist whose textural weaving and bright colour scheme was very inspiring to me.
