2.2.3. Extracting.





Working projects side by side, I have felt like I have favoured one more than the other. Objectively a balance between the two projects to keep moving forward is what I want to achieve.
With the Live Project I have been working with colour and detail, working with each separately so that I could eventually layer and have more diversity in choice for what I want to take forward into my sampling, which I feel should work successfully. I have been pulling colour and sequence from my research which I have found a lot easier than finding pattern within images. Reflectively even though I have found this easier, I need to find a way to place the two aspects together in a way Helen Lawrence might in her brand.

Pattern is an important aspect of Helen Lawrence's collection in how she pulls things together as a body, piecing parts together to create one whole. Interpreting the texture of the images to finding translation into knit is my task for this week so that I am ready to start pulling together ideas for samples.

I have been editing and distorting my research images in different ways to draw from for my main project. I have been pulling and stretching the image and creating different dimensions within the original image. By focusing on the distorted section of an image to draw from, pulling out a certain texture that will suggest techniques, which has been working well. I have been looking at the work of Sara Cwynar and how she has distorted her images and created something different to work from has formed the focus of my work. By taking her ideas of looking at several sections of distortion within that image, and creating something totally different to what the image was originally can open up and create different options which will be useful for creating my samples. Also I need to generate different ways to get more from my images, so that the outcomes will be diverse.
