| Marianne Kemp- Google. |
The trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach was something
of an eye opener, the information we received through a presentation about the
past designs of the rides, finding that it is not just fashion that tries to
keep up to speed with design and exterior look of the park, moving with fashion
of the era.
The one thing that caught my attention was the use
of pattern and design mostly Art deco in the park and how not all of it was
whisked away with time. The use of it with in the park and details of the
dresses in the theatre shows.
This is the angle I want to look at going into
Fairground, focusing on the pattern of rides and use of shape.
Since then I sought out to find independent
Fairgrounds, to see if they had something of the same style and pattern.
Finding that it wasn’t just the Pleasure Beach that was trying to keep up with
the moving design, it was most independent and travelling attractions.
Taking a lot of research away from both places, I
wasn’t to carry on with the angle I am looking at Fairgrounds from and search
more Art Deco and Fairground Patterns and see where it takes me.
After been shown what exactly could be
created through both weave and stitch Ive started with pattern making and exploring other weavers work. With hope of filling me with inspiration and ideas to bring into my weave.
I started to look through Marianne Kemp's work, I want to bring structure and texture to my pieces, Taking the idea from Marianne and using the yarn as a 3D aspect to the work. I want to bring dimension and some shape to my work other than it just being flat, working on texture and build.
I really like the idea that some of Marianne's work doesn't look like some that would be made on a loom so its the process after its been made that makes it what it is, Its something I really want to work on. As well as that I am currently always search through Pinterest for new an different things to move my work on you can find my board here.
