Final Major Project

To Infinity And Beyond

Below are some images of my completed Final Major Project, taken at a recent fashion shoot I set up to gather images of my piece and how it looks and works on the human form.

 

.

Fabrics used: Cotton, Polyester and Polyester Satin

Techniques used: Marbling, heat transfer print, cyanotype, bleed dye, block print, fabric manipulation

(I had boiled the heat transfer printed piece, with pennies wrapped inside, to give a bubbled look, which  indicate planets, the theme of this piece was Outer Space) 

Flight project (Group Piece)

For this project we were tasked with creating a group length of fabric, which was used in a dance performance at the Royal Albert Museum in Exeter. 

On this piece we joined Birds and butterflies together in a flock that traveled the length of the flock starting off small and getting bigger my contribution to this piece are the butterfly prints which were printed in black and white. I also aided my team in dying the length of fabric.

I had drawn the image then using that inverted it and had them blown up, using those images we had them made into screen prints. 

 After the print were done and dry we added Angelina fibers to the butterflies to give them a more iridescent quality 

Flight Project

During our Flight project we got the chance to create wire pieces which, are currently on display at Killerton House. The pieces were based around the theme of flight. I chose to look at Hummingbirds. The bellow pieces are made out of Wire and wire mesh.

I chose to display mine as a sort of hanging mobile style piece; using wire to hold them up.

I felt it the best way to display it as birds are creatures of flight.

These are closer up images of the pieces, as you can see I threaded wire through the mesh to add more detail to the piece, and give an illusion of feathers.
