In my previous blog, I mentioned about some possible idea development that showed through my experimental work that to me seemed like it could have the protentional to become a final outcome.
This idea is going of my experimental stages of playing around with scale and using a sewing machine, whilst I was in the midst of sewing fabric together, I did think about the possibility of creating something 3D, but got side tracked with the blanket idea which maintained a 2D like form.
However, I thought that I should probably experiment with stuffing or bring the work some form and life.
The idea is to form an installation/tapestry like piece that I could suspend from a wall or ceiling out of multiple miniature cushions which produced these small individual portrait characters. However, with this idea, to not over do the detail, the patterns which would have been represented as the fears will be left out. And instead, the layout of these miniature portraits will itself, represent that pattern like form. This will also solve the solution to not being able to use more patterns or mark makings for the slightly larger portraits made for the blanket.
Making this idea would also be more suitable for presentation layout, because of the pandemic it is best advised that we avoid touching things unnecessarily. So people could still view the piece in it’s full detail and glory. However, how It will be suspended and with what is still something I will have to think about.
