Strawberries, using watercolour with an overlay of tracing paper with fine liner.A pattern zoomed in from a metal structure found at the V&AA collage of a cut open papaya, repeated design on a blue background.Inspired by a projection at the ‘Fashion Masculinity’ exhibition at the V&A, using coloured pencils. Paper manipulation, weaving using colours and patterns inspired by the ‘Africa Fashion’ exhibition at the V&A.Pattern seen from a tube station, along the circle line, using pastel and fine liner.The inside of a red cabbage, using oil pastel.Pattern created by folding over remaining acrylic paint. Bubbles seen in a bath, using watercolour and coloured pencils. Pattern created by using water colour and zig-zagged fine liner over the top.
Looking through your ‘talking colour’ and ‘seeing pattern’ posts, I immediately saw a range of materials and techniques used. In your talking colour post, you can really see the focus on colour, and how it has affected your practice. One piece that really caught my eye was the confetti over a crowd in a club, where you used chalk and pastels. I thought that this was super affective and it made me think of other ways you could potentially push this further. I think that it would translate into textiles really well, by using the embellisher or appliqué. This is one of the more abstract take-in your talking colour, I think it would be so interesting to delve into abstract for more of your drawings. Looking into seeing pattern, I am exited to see the possibilities and potential. They all look like you could translate them into textiles, and I can start envisioning them on garments. Overall I think that these drawings are exiting and have so much potential. I wish that you could have explored some further, perhaps making a pattern of one and then changing the colours, or sizing? You could also explore the paper/background colour you used. This would give a completely new effect and could lead to something new, you could use paper as a representation of fabric choice. I think there is so much you could do with these, and I feel exited to see what else you create!
