Map sewing

Taking forward ‘my map’, I decided to sew the intricate map onto a fabric that can dissolve using black thread. The map took me a total of 5 days to complete due to me having to hand sew, and measures to just over A3 scale.

This is the outcome, I decided on not showing the background from my window because it didn’t look appealing in contrast to the map

I decided against dissolving the fabric because I didnt have acess to a sewing machine. Therefore the tread map would just fall apart once I dissolved the material.

No background compared to background being visible

What I want to do next is to consider my background for any presentation. At this point of the project, I still haven’t finalised an idea for my final piece, so that’s my aim for this week.

I’m still interesting in using the human form with my work, so I might set up a backdrop so I can take some images of people being included with the stuff I create. And I could consider making the backdrop the final outcome if my idea doesn’t work out?
