2.1.4. Pushing Development & Mary Katrantzou.


Moving on from last week, after playing around a lot with repetition, compressing and composition, it still wasn't working for me, whether it was down to the colour scheme or just the pattern I couldn't get it right, So for this week I want to take a different approach to my way of working.

In my PDP we spoke a lot about how I could move on my ideas and keep feeding my body of work throughout the coming weeks. A few things that were said is that simplifying the pattern and then working into it was something to look into. So from that I took a few of my images and smudged and stretched them out to simplify the repetition.



As well as that I worked on my colour scheme and chose a tone of colours to work with. Because of how I was editing the images, it was making them look and resemble something similar to an X-ray, because of this blue tones could be a good step forward.

With all that in hand, We also spoke about concept and context, in which my concept needs a bit of working on, and with context, as I have chosen to direct myself down the line of knit for fashion, I need to look at more fashion and knit fashion artist and designers. One in particular has stood out for me which is Mary Katrantzou. 

 Her work with pattern and colour has really inspired some of the changes in my work and how I am now going to direct it. Blocking out colour and having detail but in a more stand out defined way.
This week I am going to apply this to my images and edit them to my new direction of working ready for when I start sampling.
