Feeling Confident in Context

Having used my final laser cutting session to make more 3D yarn I felt a bit stuck about what kind of material I wanted to weave through. So I did some more contextual research and took a great interest in rag-rugs.

This is a rug I found particularly inspiring by Rag Art Studios. I feel I can translate the way the shapes of the flowers are arranged directly to my superstitious 3D yarn. Also relating to my work the way the rugs, although generally of a flat nature, have a very 3D element about them. I also feel that they make a good use of multiples to create a very nice textures.

This is the work of Jenny Salton which I liked.

 I felt this really confirmed my earlier thoughts of making fabrics for interior design and helped inform my choices of fabric. It has definitely helped me progress my work, knowing who my audience is, and I am now very excited about producing my own samples.
