Proposal
Exploring a range of different
methods, including negative spaces, insulation and assemblage; then
investigated grids, layers and reflections, I found that gradually working
through projects I began improving on skills and learning new ones to bring new
techniques in to my work, this allowed me to identify my strengths and
weaknesses within my artwork.
I work well at intricate hands-on and practical work in a range of media, particularly different materials. I also have a wide range of skills, not just specialising in one area, I am very interested and work hard.
I don’t have a clear picture of my
future career but I know that I am interested in and enjoy working with both
textiles and photography so am hoping to pursue a career within these areas.
To explore the use of materials and
photography to express memory.
I intend to use
myself as a starting point and a subject in my project by exploring and
documenting my memories, such as my tenth birthday and the excitement of being
double figures, by using materials and photographs to express the mood from a
memory.
I decided, from
the grids, layers and reflections project I started, that I would use myself as
I subject and concentrate on the theme of Me, Myself and I. As I worked more with this theme, I found it
was far too extensive an area, so I narrowed it down to two ideas within the
theme, namely memories and reflections.
I had a discussion with my pathway tutor about my methods and decisions
and came to the conclusion of focussing on memories.
I intend to
explore my theme futher using photographs of memories I remember from when I
was younger. Then, by using textile techniques, turn my memories and
photographs into a visual story.
I had a look in
the library for artists’ work which I liked and then found out more work by the
specific artists on the computer. To
develop the work I may take ideas from their work and adapt the idea to the
theme in my own work.
I will collect
photographs from past events and explore what media I find most suitable to
present them in.
In the future I
would want my work to attract people’s attention and make an impression so that
they want to find out more about my work.
I have many
influences around me from the internet, magazines, old photographs and artwork;
I have recently visited the Liverpool Tate Gallery; and am highly inspired by the natural world around me.
I am inspired
by many artist’s work such as Henry Moore's textile pieces from the 1960’s such
as the quirky old fashioned wallpapers; and Henry Matisse’s moderist wildlife
and nature paintings.
Textiles artists who have inspired and
given me ideas are: Shirley Craven
(Hull Traders), Celia Birtwell, Zandra Rhodes, David Hockney’s expressive
joiners, Franz Marc and Henry Moore.
The photography artists I have looked
at are: Eadweard Muybridge, William Morris, Humprey Jennnings’ Horses Head
1937-1940 and James Carnegie.
I have gained ideas and may adapt and
develop them in my own work. For example, the flip books of a series of action
images, flicked to create the illusion of continuous motion, inspired by
Eadweard Muybridge.
I will be using the media of
fabrics, photographs, inks and paints.
Also I would like to explore new medias and ideas to see what the
outcome would look like.
I
will be using the methods of information gathering, recording of ideas and
reasons for doing a piece of work, in my sketchbook, journal and blog.
My criteria of
success is to have produced a unique and thought provoking piece of work that I
am proud of and a number of people like.
To determine this I will ask a wide ranged audience, covering age,
gender, profession, experience and opinion, for feedback on completion.
If anything
goes wrong in the process I will record and take note of it, reflect on it to
see how to improve it. If the problem is
irrepairable, I will learn where and why it went wrong, learn from the mistake,
then annotate and record it in my journal and try again.
I will be thinking all the time about what I am doing and working to the
best of my ability.
Evaluation
The theme
for my Final Project was ‘Me, Myself and I’, I have covered all briefs and
achieved all goals.
I found the
project to be very time consuming, due to which I didn’t achieve some mediums
on my rosettes which I would have liked.
However, the
final outcome is very visually appealing, the colours blend well together and
the materials show good contrast.
Despite some
frustrating setbacks, it was a very enjoyable process to take part in, the
materials were easy to print and paint on and I was able to develop some new
skills.
I am
disappointed that my piece didn’t attract as many viewers as I had wanted,
perhaps for not knowing the meaning behind it but, for me, the piece is very
successful and I am pleased and proud of what I have achieved.

On monday I finished stapling my work to the boards as parts had come away which I hadn't stapled. Then when I had completed my work I began helping with other peoples who needed it so everyones wotk was ready for the show on wednesday night.
Thursday 14th June 2012
I placed my rosset on the board to see what it looked like in proportion with it.
I decided how I am going to display my work, ready to staple to the board. I stapled it to extra material behind my frills on my rosette so they were s
disguised. Which turned out really well as it hangs really well.

By Wednesday night, with a very good group effort had cleaned the room painted all boards so they looked presentable to the public. They had all been moved in to positions to take everybody in to account, and doing this everyone was ready to come in on Thursday morning to start hanging all our work up in designated spaces.
Monday 11th June 2012
We came back to college after the half term holidays to find all tables had been moved out of the room and any other objects. So that made it tidy to bring in big cleaning machines as students cant mop the floor due to the plug sockets fixed in the floor.
Thursday 7th June 2012
I have completed the frill around the outside of the rossett, but my own sawing machine doesn't have the free foot focialities. So I have decided to do work on the other things which need doing and quickly do free foot on the college machines. As doing it by hand would take a considerably long time.
Tuesday 5th June 2012

Ive annotated samples which I wasnt so keen on and the ones I liked but haven't used in my work. Some samples I have used to make my Final Major Project look better.
Friday 1st June 2012
I have finished all my screen prints on my other rosset. As I had all the equipment out I thought of making some extra screen prints just incase I need them, as I wasn't going out the way to do it. The extra prints were just incase I want to use it in my work in the holidays as I dont have access to college or printing mediums. But some ideas I have had to develop and improve my work or finish off are;
finish 3 sketchbooks

I used a template drawn from a picture to develop in to making a butterfly and applied to my work with fancy free hand stitching, which is a setting on the sawing machine. Then finished any other stitching which needed doing before putting my edging on with pleats as it will be harder to stitch on after ive done this.
Before leaving college I decusted with Danielle what priorities needed doing and what methods I needed to do with the facilities in college, also what I cant finish off at home. So I came in on the Friday after deciding I needed to do more screen printing as I could so that at home. And as I have access to a sawing machine at home, which ment I was able to finish off my two final pieces at home.

I embroidered in to one of my rossets, but at the end of the day I wasnt too sure about it the was just something missing. So I asked other people for their opinion. The feedback was to put more depth in to my work, so I decided to make a a 3d butterfly as I like animals.
Step by step lace printing
First you need to get a selection of your chose of pigment dyes, a piece of lace, material, a bit piece of paper and a roller.
Place the paper on a layer of newspaper so you dont dye the table, then pour a blob of pigment dyes on the piece of paper and spread evenly with the roller.
Place the lace on top and softly press so the dyes covered all your lace. Then remove from the paper.
Know with great care lift the lace off the material and hopefully it leaves a lace pattern print on your material.

Place the lace on top and softly press so the dyes covered all your lace. Then remove from the paper.
Place the lace on the material dye side down, dont move once placed. Using your roller roll over the top of the lace carefully.
Know with great care lift the lace off the material and hopefully it leaves a lace pattern print on your material.
After that repeat the process above as many times, till satisfied.

- I first drew on my piece of material a large circle, so I know were to place any design I would like to do.
- Then with the decision and opinion of a couple of people we decided were to place all the photo's or prints I am using.
- Before that I decided to make more than 1, because of the amount of images or items I would like to use, and the groups they all fit in.
- Before firing ahead I tried out my prints to see how well they were going to turn out, as I hadn't printed them before. All photo's of my layouts are shown below.
-When printed and produced, I needed to leave the photo's to dry. So whilst waiting for it to dry, I layed out the ideas and design of my second design on the next rossett. But when I had chosen were everything was going there was a strip off set which was very plain and needed something to take your eye away from it. So in the strip I wrote friends underneath each other but writing it backwards alternatively.
- I used image maker to transfer an image to material, which looks just like pva glue. I stuck the images to my material, but with this tecnique the image transfers back to front, but I wasnt that bothered about that. I needed to leave it to dry, I have left it over the weekend to thoroughly dry.
- After leaving my work and asking other people for their opinion of my work, so after having feedback and having a think about it. I have decided that my piece so far doesn't show much potential and range of skills which I could incorporate;
-painting
-felt
-weave
-stitch
-bonder webb
-tie dying
-mod rock
-bows
-hearts
-put the used the lace on
-Also i have been thinking about how else I could make a rosset more interesting, I could develop it future into an umbrella, so its combinding 3d in to it.
Thursday 24th May
After all work produced on the Wednesday allowing it to dry over night. I began monoprinting on the strips putting words, symbols or numbers which I like or represent me. For a step by step demonstration of how to do monoprinting see step by step monoprinting page.
Step by step monoprinting
First you need some acrylic paint, an aluminium plate, material, roller and a clean end of a paintbrush.
Put a good blob of plain on the aluminium plate, ready to role.
Now using your roller start rolling the paint evenly all over the aluminium plate. But not too thin.
Next carefully place the place on your material you want to print or write on, try not touch any of the material which is placed on top of the paint as you will get finger prints and blodges on your piece of material.
You can now begin writing on with your clean opposite end of the brush of a paint brush.
Then slowly remove the material from the paint and place it again on the paint to do it again.

I bought the material which I needed, for use round the outside of my rossett to print lace pattern on. I then cut the material in to long strips for frill on my rossett. I found that I hadn't done enough lace printing on the material so after finding this problem, I had to find a solution; so strip by strip I began printing more lace pattern on them. But after I had done all this it was too over powering, so I had come to another stumble so I toned it down by applying white acrylic paint randomly spaced giving a smooth effect to my work. All the pictures are shown below, also samples in my sketchbooks.
Tuesday 22nd May 2012
I have chosen do do two rossetts on a large scale.
-I have had feedback off Danielle about my proposal
-I have had a discussion with danielle about my final piece, we have decided what to do and I did a quick sample to see what it would look like. So on Wednesday morning I needed to buy my material and start making it.

To be completed for the Monday 20th May 2012, I set myself a few more things to do aswell as the ones I set on the thursday. As when I was sorting through my books I found more things to do;
-Wallpaper pictures for my ideas before I had my pitch.
-Photo's of August Macke's work.
-ANNOTATE MY BOOKS!
I have listed a few rough ideas to do for my Final Piece which I have started but know just need to clarify what I'm going to do.
-Customise a hoodie personalised to me.
-Personalise backdrops to run over the back of my exhibiton board.
-Do all my work backwards, so the viewers have to look in to a mirror to be able to read the writing in my work the right way round. For example when you look in your centre mirror when driving at an ambulance you can read it.
-personalised dress.
-set of three canvas's about my identity all about me.

I have set myself some work to achieve for today,
-Stitch in to my samples
-Learn some new techniques shown by Danielle.
I Achieved the above also learnt how to do mono printing. Also when printing off my photographs, I had the idea of scanning in photo's to the computer of when I was younger, to use in my work.
I have began using techniques on the sawing machine in use when making my final piece. I started by test writing on my samples with the sawing machine, which came out really well but not as neat as I planned, but with more practise and confidence on the machine it would improve. They were really successful I improvised on some more samples to make them more interesting. There are some photos of my samples below.

I have done some more samples with a different screen print, some photos of my prints will be shown below. I am now going to work in to some of the samples and maybe use good, well printed ones towards my final piece. Our textiles group also had a group talk about what we need for a basic pass so we are covering everything, then when I have covered the basics I can develop my work future to a higher grade. As there isn't any point moving on if everything isn't covered. I wrote some feedback mentioned in our discussion.

Complete for Monday 14th May 2012
I set my self a task to research a good hand full of artists, to get some inspiration and ideas to use in my development of my FMP:
-So I have researched a range of photography artists, who has use memory in their work. I have listed them then i will show proof of my research in my sketch book. Refer to my research page to see my photography research and several other;
-Also a variety of Painters who use memory in their work, to portray a vision or a story for a viewer;
-Then last of all I have looked at textile artists which I have found link in to my work, and have given me many ideas. To refer back to in my sketchbook when needed, to remember their work or for more inspiration and ideas. Also to show the evidence that I have explored a variety of artists, in all aspects of my work.

I have just had a little discussion about my work form Jo Conlon for different feedback, for a wide range of feedback instead of a one persons interpretation all the time. She had a look my sketch book work and my sample and were I'm starting to go with my work, my feedback was to;
-To collect lots of objects or photographs from memories which have happened my life
-To have many more artists research evidence in my sketch book as well as my journal
-Artists research consisting of which techniques they have used and how I would or have used the ideas or technique in my work. I was just browsing the Internet and I found some artists work which I liked on this website www.artistdaily.com.

Tuesday 8th May 2012
I have had a very good productive day, i worked with screen printing with a photo of me at college. I wasn't too sure about the techniques, it didn't exciting enough, so to use the same technique but in a different way i started using a plain screen and placing it on top of a layer of material then a layer of lace for the pattern then printed it. After that I have printed myself over the took so it wasn't just plain material. I then experimented and tried mono printed by writing words on to the material, but the way the mono print works is that the writing shows up backwards. But instead of seeing that as a bad thing I thought it was great it was something different and unique to my work.
I really liked the process and the outcomes so far, so to get more ideas and inspiration I looked in magazines of artists which work with material, which then go on to making garments and clothing to represent them selves.
So the artist I found in magazines are;
-Reem Alasadi
www.reemalasadi.com
-Paddy Hartley
www.paddyhartley.com
-Alison Willoughby
www.alisonwilloughby.com
-Junky Styling
www. junkystyling.co.uk
these artists do a similar technique in their work and its all to do with themselves, I would like a final outcome similar to that but my own unique twist on to it.
The ideas I got from looking at these artists are as follows;
- Customising a piece of clothing for example a hoodie (which i wear alot) and develop it so its all about me and my memories.
- Make a large piece of samples of my memories, then develop it in to a garment, for example a dress
-A make a very detailed and memorable runner to hang down the back of my exhibition board. So it looks very similar to wallpaper but its fabric.
- Have call my piece of work in a room the wrong way round then as you look in a mirror it all looks right, so the viewer has to stop and think about my work so it draws people in just like, if you look at an ambulance van the writing is the wrong way to hen your driving and you look in a mirror its the right way round because of the reflection.
Here are some photographs of the samples I have been experimenting with all day.
This sample was my testing new media's out on, I used some circle meshing and ink over it to get the circular effect in the background with a plain screen. Then used the photo of myself and printed it over the top. I was then trying out mono printing by writing on the fabric. But i found out as i took it off the ink, that were I had touch the material with my hands or fingers it showed up so it dint work very well. But now on my next ones I new that so I didn't make the same mistake.
This was my next sample I inked over a Croatia material to get the pattern on the plain material, again print using a plain screen. I think this one came out really well, its got very pastel colours which I really like that type of pallet. So I wrote on it, how I would describe myself in a few words. But by using the mono printing it printed backwards, but that is me. A very backwards and unique person so I have written on it 'one of a kind' with a love heart and two kisses at the end.
With these prints I was testing out layering the same picture on top of each other but as a positive and a negative so you get a whole photo but in two parts. These three similar prints are all on a runner (one long piece of material). I really like the three print which look very different, but processed in the same.
I started to apply paint to the prints so that when i wrote on them the writing would show up better as its on patterned material too. I wasn't so keen as the colours of the prints didn't go with the patterned material and then the paint made the print dull and grey, which is me on a glum day but not generally as a person. Also horse riding is my hobby so I enjoy it greatly.
Using this lace or Croatia to produce a pattern on the plain material it also turned the Croatia the same colour, I found that it made the Croatia more appealing so it wasn't a mistake I saw as an plus.
Then I put my own stamp on to the pink patterned material, by putting a picture of myself on it.
With this sample i used the Croatia and put a screen print of myself on it, then wrote on the opposite side people who I love a lot in my family, thinking they would show through. But wrote on the same side of the prints family and live so I would have a main family showing then lots of little words of everybody in my family. But It didn't work as well as I thought it would. So next time I could try it on a different material.
I wrote all the horses name on pattern material then wrote on backwards 'Love u all' which then came out the right way. But the whole is very messy and could have more techniques done to it now to make it more interesting.
These two samples were both just to get a feel of the screen printing, and different ways I can layer or print them.
This was experimenting with the mono printing a piece of left over material, to get use to the technique, I used a darning needle to do the writing which worked really well, and i didn't need to lean on the material or hold it with my fingers.
this was screen printing over croatia to get the pattern but already printing it on to pattern material which took to the ink really well, which I really like how its how the layer of one pattern then underneath the pattern of the material, and have worked really well together.
This is a photo of the material above.
I really liked the process and the outcomes so far, so to get more ideas and inspiration I looked in magazines of artists which work with material, which then go on to making garments and clothing to represent them selves.
So the artist I found in magazines are;

Here are some photographs of the samples I have been experimenting with all day.
This sample was my testing new media's out on, I used some circle meshing and ink over it to get the circular effect in the background with a plain screen. Then used the photo of myself and printed it over the top. I was then trying out mono printing by writing on the fabric. But i found out as i took it off the ink, that were I had touch the material with my hands or fingers it showed up so it dint work very well. But now on my next ones I new that so I didn't make the same mistake.
