I think my exploration in the second half of the semester really started to flourish but did suffer whilst I was ill in Dec/Jan which was just as I started to really pick up pace and enjoy the things I was investigating. My exploration into the microscopic construction of fabric is something I am excited about and want to explore further. I want to take my own microscopic photos of particular fibres to push these ideas further into something I feel happy with. I love the experimentation of painting with colour and chalk but feel it needs more time to develop properly.
I am looking into my options for printmaking from home for my knit drawings to push these ideas further also. I am hoping to complete a series of drawings of different knit stitches. Unfortunately, again this is something I feel needs proper development and is still in the mid stages at this hand in.
The vase/cup paintings again are something I want to explore further and I love the influence they had on the microscopic drawings. I brought forward the dash marks (in my head represent stitching) and using a specific colour palette.
These ideas I want to continue to work on during the second semester, but I feel like my monoprints of rags and threads are pretty much resolved in my head. I am hoping to bind them into a book but I am happy with them being displayed on the wall in a series. I think these are the only “finalised” pieces of my work so far in the year which is disheartening as this is my final year. I really struggled academically on my dissertation and I never realised that this module started whilst the dissertation module was still going on. I found it incredibly difficult trying to manage both tasks and really let this module go for a while, which meant by the time I’d handed in the dissertation I was exhausted and out of any ideas. I found it hard to improve any of my ideas in Nov and felt they were all a bit rubbish, alongside managing the second lockdown in the covid crisis. I also have caring responsibilities for a vulnerable family member so I felt incredibly stressed which is why I think I was so critical of myself and my work.
I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Anni Albers work in my studio file, I just wish I had been able to visit her work in person. I have seen some things from an exhibition at the Tate Modern a few years ago but I can’t fully remember the experience. Again, I did struggle with the studio file as apart from Anni Albers, I couldn’t find many artists or things that I felt inspiration from. We’ve all been unable to walk around galleries and museums and I haven’t seen much in my online research that has really wowed me. My practice has definitely suffered for the lack of inspiration and the lack of seeing others’ work. I have background artists like Louise Bourgeois that continue to inspire me but I don't feel like I'm learning much by continuously looking into her work. I want further inspiration and feedback from my peers in the studio. I didn't realise how much I value my peers comments on my work.
Overall, I am pleased with the work I have started during the second half of the semester but I am disappointed with myself in my progress. I wish I had managed to develop a lot of these themes and ideas further but I have struggled this semester with a few things and then in Dec/Jan had some dental issues which will need to be resolved with surgery after the lockdown. I am already thinking about practical work I can do to accompany drawings and I’m feeling optimistic for the next few months.
Semester 1: Developing practice in drawing and print Welcome to my blog!
October 2020
This is a blog showing my progress through October 2020 til January 2021. My plans are to explore my life and my surroundings and I decided to build off of my work from second year focussing on a stylised version of my desk chair.
My original plan during second year was to make a quilt, but I was unable to due to the covid lockdown - so once I had upgraded my sewing machine my plan was to make a quilted panel featuring these chairs. This was more of a learning exercise as I want to move away from the chair and onto something more interesting.

I love these as a trio. They are passport photo sized. I love the simplicity of each one but I feel like they encapsulate what I’ve been exploring.

A5 on paper.
Bottom right is one of my favourites, it is a simplified painting of a piece of yarn which shows the way the fibres are manipulated and twisted together. Love the lines in this plus the colour compared to two other pink paintings.
The top right is more simplified knit stitch shapes painted before the blue background was added. I’ll be honest I thought this would be cool but it just turned out a bit messy so I probably wouldn’t repeat that.

The painting on the left is inspired by rayon under the microscope and I love it.
The painting on the right - the blue shapes are simplified shapes inspired by another knitted panel. The shapes are like little Cs and the way they pair together is lovely. I layered these with the rayon stripes.
I love both of these paintings as a pair and individually. I really feel like the mix of chalk and paint and the colour palettes are the strong points. I love the basic shapes and the wobbliness of the lines (thinking back to my second year work).
Left painting is just smaller than A2 and right painting is A3

I’m really not sure on this painting. I think it’s been too “over worked.” I started with a background of the circular pattern rather than working into it. It feels too random but at the same time overdesigned? I could almost see it in a quirky clothes shop on a t shirt haha. I like the warm colours with the green again but I feel overall it’s too much.

I love this!
The colour palette, the shape, the mix of chalk and paint are all things I feel work incredibly well in this painting. This is definitely one of my favourites so far.
All paintings have been done on paper just smaller than A2.
