To begin with, I think that my worry with the production of the blanket is that I don’t really want the portraits to look all the same, and because I’m struggling to come up with other pattern ideas to interpret as the fears, I don’t want to resort to the same thing. I also think that the scale choice is also effecting that. Because I want to markings to look bold and supressing almost, I think that whatever pattern I use has to be considered intently and the positioning of the marking patterns too.
Another issue that I have noticed, is that when I’m making these portraits, when it comes to me making the circular pattern, some are smaller in scale than the others. Which throws the organised layout I was hoping to accomplish, out of the window.
However, a positive outcome, is that the production of making this blanket has lead me to think of alternatives and developments. So I have played around again with sale, the portraits and compositions a little more. Which I will discuss in the next blog post.
It has also come to my attention that I need more artist references who work with the materials and process I have been ,exploring with. So I have set a task to look into a few who might inspire me and influence my development of work.
