A2 Textiles

Domesticity was the theme for my A2 textiles project.  Naturally I looked at Tracey Emin, but I was also inspired by lesser known artists such as Caren Garfen, who lives locally to me.  My work here features traditions techniques and feminine fabrics, however these are contrasted to the use of text and the idea of distressing my work.  The themes of my work are emphasised through the fact that I have actually made domestic items.

My exam project was based on 'Puzzles'.  The final outcome was this colourful cube which uses various techniques including applique, cutaway applique, printing, patchwork and weaving.  I also glued on various cardboard shapes, puzzle pieces and playing cars.  Each side is a different colour and encorperates different puzzles and games.
