For our summer task we were asked to produce four boards that gave an overview for the direction that we could imagine our final year project to head towards, looking at the four topics: inspirations, concept, context and media/ process. I am inspired by nature, looking at natural forms, textures and surfaces as starting points, thinking about how it would be possible to translate these into embroidery design, therefore this being my initial concept. I want to produce work for a fashion context, designing embroidered fabrics to be applied for garments. I shall use a combination of the machine and hand techniques, using machines such as the multihead and cornely in attempt to recreate my drawings into a stitched hand mark. I am looking forward to the possibilities of this unit, as my aim is to perfect my machine techniques to an industry level as well as experimentation.
