Focusing again at the slow, repetitive process of cutwork, I was interested to visualise their look once placed upon the body. Layering the pieces creates a lace-like finish to the sculptures; the beauty of lacework is something that I would like to develop in unit x, focusing more closely at the placement of the work on the body and producing samples accordingly. I feel that the pieces replicate the shore line well through their fragile shapes and overlapping patterns, similarly to the way that the movement of the waves leaves different marks each time the waters cross one another. I can see the relationship between these cutwork pieces and my ethos designs working well together: cutwork being more expressive and visual, where as my ethos designs portraying a much more delicate embroidered look. Thinking of ways in which I would be able to incorporate the two techniques together, I am going to experiment with cutting into my samples and layering them together, as a way of revealing new patterns, similarly to the approach that I used in my drawing stage.
