Summer Project

The project set for over the summer was to create four boards outlining our INSPIRATION, CONCEPT, MEDIA and CONTEXT. I found the task both useful and challenging. 

From looking back at my work over 1st and 2nd year, I realised that pattern, repetition and structure have been constant sources of inspiration and I had taken a lot of photos over the summer of pattern in the environment so would like this these to drive my work over the next few weeks.

Concept I found a tricky one to illustrate, but maybe this will become clearer as my work progresses. It needs to be open enough to develop over the long unit but not too broad so that I get lost or overwhelmed.

Media/Process will be materials I have been using in second year such as rubber, polypropylene rope, pvc and experimenting with traditional embroidery techniques such as piping, tassel making and embellishment. 

I would like my context to be flexible, so my work can be applied as body adornment as well as surface design for interiors.
