Week 5

The last 3 weeks have been a time to concentrate solely on weaving. The samples that have been produced are starting to aid me in finding a suitable context for my work.They hold qualities of rigidity, density and ultimately structure.
Having always been interested in home furnishings i am confident that this is the path i should follow in regards to context.

Annah Legg, woven textile designer, works to create pieces that work for both the furnishing and installation market. The textile pieces are created using similar double cloth techniques to the ones i have recently used and are predominately bright and colourful. Her work is strongly guided by her overarching concept - Mapping of space, from which she works to individual briefs set by companies and clients.

Examples of some of my own woven samples (Urban Shape Series). Alongside an image taken from Leggs website, showing 'FROM THE AIR' samples. Achieved using mercerised cotton and a double cloth threading plan. Simple weave pattern enable the work to stand out and focus mainly on colour. Each side of the sample has a different colour palette, creating two diverse cloths.
