This week has been a great continuation of on my new concept - textile installation. I've been working on new forms, which were very much inspired by the class' trip to UMMA. I spent some extra time looking at the Sam Gilliam piece and really began noticing the negative spaces and cavities created by the fabric (which I hadn't really realized before). So, I tried to incorporate that more in the experiments I continued to make this week. I will continue making more forms and experimenting with shapes. The other factor I'm beginning to grapple with is one fabric/pattern vs. a collage of different fabrics/handkerchiefs...something else to consider...but as Janie suggested, I'm not worrying about that too much - I'm really just going to keep plugging away with my sewing.
Also, I applied to get access to the fibers studio today :)
(Should make my experiments go a little faster).
