Designer Research: Regine Ramseier

Regine Ramseier is a designer that I came across during last year's Unit X programme; I feel that her work is suitable for my current research also. Working with concepts of multiples and organic forms; I feel as though I can take inspiration from her pieces. I am primarily drawn to her Dandelion installation; thousands of flowers hung in a space, using only the elements of light and structural installation as a pathway to her work. An uncontrollable colour palette is produced, mostly off-whites and creams, however constantly changing by the light. In comparison with my recent beading samples, I also rely upon light catching the iridescent colours in my piece, in order to give the embellishments a little more interest. Secondly, the use of repetition can be found in my work also, throughout my portfolio- drawing, sampling, cut-work. Installation is a newly found interest in terms of the context of my work, therefore seeing a piece that holds the same colour, form and shape qualities is exciting.
