This week I have been exploring tassels and using them to build up a surface. Im interested in the fun, tactile quality of them and am keen to see what would happen if I made a huge surface out of them. At this scale though that would be extremely time consuming so I need to see what other materials I can use to work on a bigger scale.
I have also experimented making macrame out of rope and cable ties. Using a stiff, strong material totally changes the quality, and it expands and contracts. This movement I am keen to take forward and develop as I like the idea of my work being functional.
I had my two tutor Crit this week with Mark and Julie along with some of Julie's group. The session provided a good insight into how print students work and how the context is a driving force in the design process. Although I have had a vague idea of context after making the summer boards, perhaps I need to research this more to have a better understanding of where my work will fit. However, I do not want to pigeon hole myself as I believe that my work can easily fit in numerous contexts after some refinement. Mark mentioned a few times that my samples could work as interiors and Julie said surface design, so I will do some research on large scale, tactile surfaces and product design.
