Week 4

Over the last two weeks, the woven side of my project has thoroughly been underway. As mentioned earlier, with reference to the work of Jim Stephenson i have been able to refine my image library. The image i have used as a primary example for this woven warp, is the one shown below. Taken from a linear window structure, i have used the colours within the frame and a select few that i have previously been working with to select a pallet and threading plan.

The structures visible within the image above and the way the different linear elements seem to overlap led me to explore the idea of creating a double woven cloth. To confirm this idea, i looked and studied the work created by Woven Textiles designer Holly Berry, who specializes in woven cloths for the interior market.

Below are examples of her work, showing where i gained inspiration and direction for my own cloth.
