3rd YEAR EMBROIDERY TALK, LAURA FAITHFUL - Zoe Budwig

I went to this talk by 3rd year Laura Faithful.... 


It was interesting to hear about Laura's starting points, she was interested in irregular patterns in natural forms, but for her it was more about the processes. 

 

She started working with coffee filters and doilies but there was a limitation with this. She managed to source blind material, which she had started to laser cut into, using her drawings as templates. These were really successful and especially because she had chosen an unusual material to work with. 


She also showed us some experiments where she had been cutting up the blind material and stitching it together. She mentioned her plans on making an interactive light sculpture with this material, which brought me back to thinking about possible outcomes for my work. 


She showed us a few mood boards, and this is possibly something I should think about doing when working towards my final concepts, as it will help me visually see what I am trying to create.
