My statement

Each of the eleven images below show the variety and depth to my work. I chose these works because I wanted to show how my interest for textiles can expand through many genres of art. My favorite work shown is the chance drawing and collage as it allowed me to experiment with just black and white but create various outcomes without the idea of focusing on colour. Choosing to relate the work back to fashion garments meant i was able to play around with a variety of mark making and focus more on pattern. The idea of mark making is evident in my potato drawing also as by using other methods than shading allows the image to take on a different form. With each of these works submitted I wanted to reflect my style and my approach within various briefs. 

I have always been interested in art forms which shows pattern, colour and a textures. I was very keen when studying Ceramics to GCSE level as it allowed me to understand these three different areas but in a different context to what I am used to in material forms. These three ideas were also evident with my child hood obsession with wanting to become a fashion designer as it has created an awareness for these three aspects of art. Textiles for me reinstates these three ideas but with understanding of the context. My interest in the course is to not only further my knowledge of the subject of Textile design but to immerse myself more in different aspects of the course. What most excites me about the programme is being able to combine my understanding and drive for Textiles with fashion to create various outcomes and designs. This will be evident with working to live industry briefs.
