The translation of my drawings into embroidery has began with the Multihead Ethos software. My aim is to recreate the same qualities of my hand-drawn white surf marks into stitch. Using different material surfaces, including organza, velvets and silks; I am exploring the best textures given from the stitching.
My next step shall be to work with manipulating the pieces in attempt to replicate the same features to those of my shore line photographs: layering the fabrics, cut-work, embellishments. Thinking about the context for these samples, I image both garment or installation spaces, adapting themselves into a required space. Although these samples are flat, using methods such as 3D-printing would allow structural design to take place.
