This final week
I have been developing my laser cut samples experimenting with size, material,
colour and shape. I am gaining a good understanding of what affects the shape
of the surface and will continue to develop this in Unit X. I also need to
explore how to secure the pieces allowing the surface to be applied to a more
commercial context such as jewellery.
I have also been pushing
the scale of piping using balloons and pipe lagging instead of tubes and using
the eyelets instead of sewing on the machine. I like the industrial, clean
finish of these samples, and have started to try using cords to stitch through
the eyelets. This could work as an interactive surface, allowing users to add
their own materials. I have also begun to combine tassels to the surface,
bringing back the fun element of my earlier work. There is lots to experiment with for this strand of my work and will continue to
explore during unit X. Pushing the scale has also opened up the context for the
work, making them good for outdoor seating
