Before we were set the brief we were set a task in which we had to choose a definition, disipline and a technique. I decided to go with biology, textiles and fuse. I chose coral reef for my for my chosen biological state of change. After I had done my samples I realised they were to busy, I wanted to focus on one specific area to reach the point of designing my skirt.
From researching in to the artist Han Feng and other research I knoew I wanted to create my skirt form individual less detailed textile samples which I could combine together and make my skirt. I got this idea from the biological changes in coral reef; as each individual coral comes together to form the reef. The sample I chose was puffs.
From looking at photos from Austraila and the sea life centre, i felt that I wanted to incorporate texture on to the garment, so i did a sample which proved to be successful and looked really good however it took to long and i would have been tryin to compleate in next year, so i used fabric paint instead of embroidary to see if it looked the same and it did it was raised, textured and colourful. so i then used this one my garment.
i now just need to sort the shape out on my garment and how i was going to fuse together the samples. I decided to look at the shapes of mermaids and how there bodies were structured. I resulted to choosing their bodies; having it tight around the hips (with no waist band as i wanted it to look as if it was attached to them.) to just above the knee and then sprawling out onwards. i chose to keep the shape of samples to be the same untill it sprawled out.
Overall i have reallly enjoyed this project, however i feel i could have done better, if i had less time off with my back and numerous doctors appointments, and not missing lessons would have kept me on track.
