Fabric search

Had my last official senior show class this Tuesday before review. It actually went really well, Chitra and I had a good conversation and I'm really liking how everything is turning out. The feedback I get from my fellow students and faculty is always very helpful and things are finally seeming to come together.

I have taken a slight step backwards to some original ideas however, going back to more of a variety of mediums rather than an all digital, vinyl typeface. While initially I thought doing that would help clean things up it seems to actually create a disconnect with the rest of the piece. Instead I am incorporating other ways to display this type that fit more with this idea of subtly and layering.

Also talk of adding in a few more pops of color. Looking at all of my materials again and such I think possibly a reddish-orange might be work really well. I also am looking to do a piece on the floor as well creating a really nice ladder effect that draws your eye from the wall, to the suitcase placed in the middle, down to floor. A trip to the fabric store got me looking at some new materials to incorporate in.

(unfortunately I left my camera in my back-pack and only had a phone to take pictures with. not the best quality)

(close-up) good rug material, seems good to cut into as well.

Possible patterns, a little more wild and yet less bright.

I plan on researching a bit more tonight on various tapestries and quilting/ sewing/ etc. This is all new to me and other than the typography I had previous I am really experimenting a lot here and my biggest concern right now is how to finish off all of the pieces so they look completed while still fitting of the body of work.
